Human Capital, Graduate Migration and Innovation in British Regions (2008, methodology): “The changes in results associated with the exclusion of the regions of Scotland (Model 3) are probably related to the fact that the graduate labour market of Scotland appears to function rather differently than the rest of England and Wales (Faggian et al. 2007b).”
Unrewarded careers in the creative class: The strange case of bohemian graduates (2010, background): “This is not surprising given the role of London and the fact that top graduates tend to migrate towards London, while worse graduates are more likely to make corrective migration movement after graduation and return home (see Faggian 2005, Faggian and McCann 2009a, 2009b, Faggian et al. 2006, 2007).”
The interregional migration of human capital and its regional consequences: a review (2017, background): “Faggian, McCann, and Sheppard (2007), when studying the interregional migration behaviour of British graduates, confirm that graduates who excelled in college are also more likely to become repeat migrants.”
Do Institutions Play a Role in Skilled Migration? The Case of Italy (2014, result): “The coefficient of the gender variable (1 = female) indicates that women have a 2.4% higher migration probability than their male counterparts, a result consistent with that obtained by FAGGIAN et al. (2007).”
Does University Quality Influence the Interregional Mobility of Students and Graduates? The Case of Italy (2014, methodology): “However, the latter incongruity is likely due to differences in the extent to which migration may partially compensate for gender differences in the ease of accessing labour markets (FAGGIAN et al., 2007b), in returns to migration and for cultural reasons.”
