Using panel data for 78 countries of origin we examine the impact of student flows to the United States on subsequent migration there over the period 1971-2001. What we find is that the stock of foreign students is an important predictor of subsequent migration. This holds true whether or not the lagged endogenous variable is included. The relationship is robust to the inclusion of time and country dummies, and remains when we account for outliers. The basic results also hold for a cross section of 36 countries of origin and 9 host countries. Our results have important policy implications which we discuss in the last section.

- An empirical study on the determinants of international student mobility: a global perspective (2012, background): “There is a close relationship between international student flow and other types of talent flows, because international students may tell others about their experiences and may have networks that other types of talents may use (Dreher and Poutvaara 2005).”
- Determinants of International Student Migration (2016, unknown): “3 Dreher and Poutvaara (2005) also find a close link between student flows and migration flows, with a 10 per cent increase in student flows leading to between a 0.”
- University and course choice: Implications for positioning, recruitment and marketing (2006, background): “Others such as Dreher and Poutvaara (2005) have suggested that economic and cultural forces play an important role in shaping the international students migration markets.”
