DESCRIPTION:Prof. Francesco Lissoni\, Université de Bordeaux\n"Return mig
 rants' self-selection: Evidence for Indian inventors"\n\nAbstract\n\nBased
  on an original dataset linking patent data and biographical information f
 or a large sample of US immigrant inventors with Indian names and surnames
 \, specialized in ICT technologies\, we investigate the rate and determina
 nts of return migration. For each individual in the dataset\, we both esti
 mate the year of entry in the United States\, the likely entry channel (wo
 rk or education)\, and the permanence spell up to either the return to Ind
 ia or right truncation. By means of survival analysis\, we then provide ex
 ploratory estimates of the probability of return migration as a function o
 f the conditions at migration (age\, education\, patenting record\, migrat
 ion motives\, and migration cohort) as well as of some activities undertak
 en while abroad (education and patenting). We find both evidence of negati
 ve self-selection with respect to educational achievements in the US and o
 f positive self-selection with respect to patenting propensity. Based on t
 he analysis of timedependence of the return hazard ratios\, return work mi
 grants appear to be negatively self-selected with respect to unobservable 
 skills acquired abroad\, while evidence for education migrants is less con
 clusive.\n
