Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-21"> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> The consequences of the heavy inflow of foreign talent for U.S. scientists and engineers over the period 1973&hyphen;1997 are examined using data from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients. Of particular interest is whether non&hyphen;citizens trained in the United States have displaced citizens from jobs in science and engineering (S&E). Using a novel adaptation of the shift&hyphen;share technique, it is shown that citizen S&E doctorates have fewer jobs in S&E and fewer academic jobs than their non&hyphen;citizen counterparts for two reasons: the citizen doctoral population has experienced slower growth than the non&hyphen;citizen doctoral population, and citizen S&E doctorates have been displaced. Whether the displacement observed was a voluntary response of citizens to the lure of better opportunities elsewhere or an involuntary response indicative of having been pushed out by foreign talent remains to be determined. </span> <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2257.2004.00257.x"> https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2257.2004.00257.x </a> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> </span></div>
