Abstract
While both home and host country economies can gain from student migration, individual migrants gain the most. Attractive destinations have high-quality universities, large returns to skills, and migration policies that allow students to work after completing their studies. A large fraction of international students return home, especially when the home economy is booming, returns to skills are high, and wages are based on individual productivity. Several policy options may further improve the benefits of international student migration, including harmonizing qualifications across countries and increasing both visa and labor market openness.
