In a simple job-search framework we show that "educated unemployment" is caused by the perspective of international migration, that is, by the possibility of a "brain drain." In addition, the analysis shows that a developing country may end up with more educated workers despite the brain drain and educated unemployment.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/7126}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.7126}, }
