Abstract
This paper uses panel data from seventy-eight origin countries from 2012-2023 to better understand the migration patterns of well-educated individuals on a global scale. The study adopts a model from Dreher and Poutvaara that allows international student data to be translated into a linear utility function for any given emigration target. Due to data transparency concerns, these emigration targets have been limited to countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
