TY - GEN T1 - The pro-trade effect of the brain drain : sorting out confounding factors A1 - Felbermayr,Gabriel J. A1 - Jung,Benjamin Y1 - 2009/02/16 N2 - We sort out confounding factors in the empirical link between bilateral migration and trade.

Moreover, we do not find evidence in favor of strong differences across education groups.
