The rural growth trifecta: outdoor amenities, creative class and entrepreneurial context (2011, background): “Zucker and Darby (2007) present more concrete evidence of the role of entrepreneurship.”
The interregional migration of human capital and its regional consequences: a review (2017, background): “such as graduates, scientists and inventors (Faggian & McCann, 2006, 2009a; Miguélez & Moreno, 2013; Zucker & Darby, 2007).”
The wider economic impacts of high-skilled migrants: a survey of the literature for receiving countries (2013, unknown): “For instance, migration may pre-select entrepreneurial individuals who contribute to new business formation, or ‘ stars ’ who generate new ideas (Bonacich 1973; Borjas 1987; Zucker and Darby 2007; Honig et al. 2010).”
The impact of cultural diversity on firm innovation: evidence from Dutch micro-data (2013, background): “Thus, one branch of this literature analyses the impact of foreign entrepreneurs, students and inventors on innovation (Stuen et al. 2012; Kerr, 2010; Kerr and Lincoln, 2010; Hunt and Gauthier-Loiselle, 2008; Lobo and Strumsky, 2008; Zucker and Darby, 2007; and Faggian and McCann, 2006).”
Scientific Knowledge Dynamics and Relatedness in Bio-Tech Cities (2014, background): “…most influential scientific esearchers reside in a very small number of cities (UNESCO, 2010). his is reinforced by research linkages which connect in particlar the scientific hubs (Gertler and Levitte, 2005; Laudel, 2005; ittelman, 2007; Zucker and Darby, 2007; Hoekman et al., 2009; rippl, 2009).”
Immigration and Innovation in European Regions (2011, background): “Zucker and Darby (2007) focus on the geographic movements of “star scientists” in the US and other countries that are ranked high in science and technology (S&T).”
Millionaire Migration and Taxation of the Elite (2016, background): “Among the world’s top physicists, however, only about 50 percent live in their country of birth, indicating high mobility among top academics and a problem of brain drain facing many small countries (Hunter, Oswald, and Charlton 2009; Zucker and Darby 2007).”
How Valuable is “Two-Step Migration”? Labor Market Outcomes for International Student Migrants to Australia (2010, background): “In the past two decades, the US share of global doctoral students has risen from 13.5 percent to 28.3 percent, with such ‘stars’ frequently trained by ”the research universities which produce them” (Zucker and Darby, 2007:1; see also Marginson and der Wende, 2007).”
The path- and place-dependent nature of scientific knowledge production in biotech 1986-2008 (2014, background): “This is further reinforced by the increasing importance of global research linkages, which tends to favour a small number of big scientific hubs (Gertler and Levitte, 2005; Laudel, 2005; Gittelman, 2007; Moodysson, 2007; Zucker and Darby, 2007; Trippl, 2009).”
The Economic Consequences of 'Brain Drain' of the Best and Brightest: Microeconomic Evidence from Five Countries (2010, unknown): “Whilst much of this literature has focused on return migration in general, rather than return migration of the highest skilled, Zucker and Darby (2007) show high rates of return migration to Brazil, China and Taiwan (at least for sojourns) of top scientists, and Gundel and Peters (2008) show that…”
