'Graduates are key resources to economic development. Enlighted policy makers around the world spend efforts and resources to attract and retain them. However, our understanding of the drivers and impacts of graduate mobility remains limited. This book offers invaluable insights into this debate by combining cutting-edge academic knowledge with a truly global coverage of examples and case studies.' -- Riccardo Crescenzi, London School of Economics, UK 'An excellent work providing updated and comprehensive international evidence on graduate migration and on the mechanisms underlying it. A must-read for experts in regional science and educational studies.' -- Paolo Veneri, OECD, France 'Higher educated graduates are highly spatially mobile and are the major determinant of change of human capital in a region. In this book well-know experts add new insight to the literature on the outcomes of various type of graduate migration for education-job mismatch and wages and show how this varies between among other singles and couples, by gender and by the characteristic of the regional labour market. The interesting findings are based on empirical evidence from countries all over the world.' -- Jouke van Dijk, University of Groningen, the Netherlands 'By providing an international perspective on graduate migration, this book offers elegant and stimulating advances on the interpretation of high skilled mobility. Through the identification of sources of mismatches between individual qualification and job offered, of push or pull economic and social factors for migration, and of wage discrepancies between types of migrants, the reader is provided with a comprehensive, consistent, modern and well-structured framework of the socio-economic problems concerning tertiary educated migrants.' -- Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy and Past President of RSAI

`Being mobile has become an ubiquitous modus operandi as the highly educated seek to advance, and take advantage of their human capital. Corcoran and Faggian's edited volume helps us to understand the causes and consequences of university graduates' choices to migrate or stay put. The selected contributions - situated in ten OECD countries - cover a wide spectrum of issues, from overeducation and wages to life-course linkages and impacts of the Great Recession. It is an insightful and timely account of the intellectual elite's sorting and redistribution in developed countries.' -- Brigitte Waldorf, Purdue University, US `Graduates are key resources to economic development.
