Paris Migration Economics Seminar

The Paris Migration Economics Seminar is a bi-monthly lunch seminar which takes place on Mondays, from 12:30 to 13:30, at PSE (48 Boulevard Jourdan, 75014 Paris).

Most sessions consist of a one-hour presentation by an international researcher. Some sessions will be organised as short workshops with more than two speakers. The aim of this seminar series is to provide a forum for discussing high quality empirical and theoretical research on migration and population economics.

The organisers are Hillel Rapoport (hillel.rapoport at psemail.eu), Benjamin Michallet (benjamin.michallet at psemail.eu), Javier Soria Espín (javier.soria-espin at psemail.eu) and Artur Obminski (artur.obminski at psemail.eu).

The operational contact is Monique-Alice Tixeront (monique-alice.tixeront at psemail.eu).

Abstract
We investigate how reforms that ease or restrict inventor mobility affect both local and global innovation patterns. Leveraging a unique dataset that merges patent data with exhaustive information on work-related migration reforms that took place in 15 countries over 26 years, we employ a novel event-study approach. Our results show that reforms discouraging inventor mobility decrease the patenting of MNE subsidiaries within a country, while reforms encouraging it have a positive but much smaller effect. Building on the global nature of our exercise, we show that positive (negative) reforms adopted in the U.S. shifted innovation away from (toward) other countries, highlighting the existence of a global competition for talent. Finally, we provide evidence that policies easing migration have facilitated about half of the shift in the global share of innovation toward emerging markets.
