CONTRIBUTION OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED MIGRANTS TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF GERMANY (BASING ON THE INTERNATIONAL PATENT SYSTEM DATA)
Abstract
Migration of highly qualified people is analyzed using a wide range of theoretical approaches. Structure and dynamics of the immigration of the so-called ‘inventors” to Germany are described and their contribution to the innovative sphere of the German economy is evaluated. Citation indices and patenting activity data were used to conclude about the input of each group of researchers (immigrants, emigrants and re-migrants) to the innovative development of the country and the position of Germany in the international system of highly-qualified migration.
