A Panel Data Analysis of the Brain Gain (2011, background): “These results are consistent with the incentive hypothesis of skilled migration for developing countries explained in a couple of theoretical and empirical papers (Beine et al., 2001 and 2008, Stark et al., 1997, 1998, Stark and Wang, 2002).”
International Migration and the Developing World (2010, background): “Labor economists debate whether immigration benefits the receiving countries (e.g., Borjas, 1999a; Card, 2005) while development economists disagree on whether emigration is good for sending countries (e.g., Bhagwati & Hamada, 1974; Stark & Wang, 2002).”
The interregional migration of human capital and its regional consequences: a review (2017, background): “…such as those by Beine et al. (2001, 2008), Beine, Docquier, and Oden-Defoort (2011), Stark (2004), Stark, Helmenstein, and Prskawetz (1997, 1998), Stark and Wang (2002), and Vidal (1998), argue that ex-ante migration prospects could foster investment in education in the origin, provided that…”

International Remittances and Human Capital Formation (2014, background): “Likewise, Stark and Wang (2002) state that migration may have a positive effect on educational investments in developing countries as it is used as a substitute for education subsidies.”
Migration, return and small enterprise development in Ghana: a route out of poverty? (2003, background): “There is also the prospect, raised by Stark and Wang (2001) , that the potential for further international migration may encourage investment in human capital in the source country, although this hypothesised ‘beneficial brain drain’ mechanism is not investigated in any detail here.”
Brain Drain and Inequality Across Nations (2006, neutral): “A recent wave of theoretical contributions (Mountford, 1997, Stark et al., 1998, Vidal, 1998, Beine et al., 2001, Stark and Wang, 2002) demonstrates that skilled migration can create more human capital ex-ante than the ex-post loss.”
Migration Remittances and Development: A Review of Global Evidence (2006, background): “Stark and Wang (2002) show that migration to a richer country may serve as a substitute for subsidies for human capital formation.”
