Gianni de Fraja: International Mobility of Academics: Theory and Evidence (Online)

FBK-IRVAPP is pleased to invite you to the following seminar: International Mobility of Academics: Theory and Evidence

With the participation of Gianni de Fraja, University of Nottingham

Language: the seminar is held in English.

Abstract: The labour force in the university sector of many countries is extremely international. I propose a theoretical model, where academics bargain with institutions over their pay, and choose the country where they live and work to maximise their lifetime utility. I then test the model over a subset of approximately 850,000 research active academics over 14 years. The model predicts academics to respond to short term conditions, such as those caused by exchange rate fluctuations, with younger academics being more sensitives. These conclusions are confirmed by the empirical analysis.
