Abstract

Understanding the increase in the local/global mobility of scientists is critical from academic/practical perspectives. This research study focuses on the “push/pull” factors that influence highly educated individuals to migrate to other countries. Using the Open Researcher and Contributor ID database, we examine the association between different aspects of culture and economic conditions as push/pull factors. By exploring over 6000 doctoral researcher migration records from 194 countries, we investigate how the interaction between a migrant's home country characteristics (push factors) and immigrant country characteristics (pull factors) affects their migration. The findings show that migration behavior is correlated with the culture and income of immigrant countries. Immigrants are more likely to move to countries that are culturally similar to their home country. The high-income/individualistic nature of “sending” and “receiving” nations interacts with one another and motivates individual talents to migrate further. Policy implications include mitigating brain drain and encouraging skilled migration for innovation/economic growth.

探索科学流动的推拉因素

从学术/实践角度来看，了解科学家在当地/全球流动性的增加至关重要。本研究侧重于影响高学历人才向其他国家移民的 "推/拉 "因素。利用开放式研究人员和贡献者 ID 数据库，我们研究了作为 "推/拉 "因素的文化和经济条件的不同方面之间的关联。通过研究 194 个国家的 6000 多条博士研究人员移民记录，我们探讨了移民的母国特征（推力因素）和移民国特征（拉力因素）之间的相互作用如何影响他们的移民行为。研究结果表明，移民行为与移民国家的文化和收入相关。移民更倾向于迁往与本国文化相似的国家。输出国 "和 "接受国 "的高收入/个人主义性质相互作用，促使个人人才进一步移民。政策影响包括缓解人才流失和鼓励技术移民以促进创新/经济增长。
