Cahier 2016-11| Title: | Migration and Innovation Diffusion : An Eclectic Survey | | Abstract: | In the new era of mass migration, with highly skilled individuals playing a key role, the role of migration in innovation diffusion is a topical issue. The paper organizes several strands of literature, from the history of religious minorities to the spatial analysis of knowledge flows. Three main themes emerge: the distinction between mobility and migration, the directions of flows, and their contents. Migration supports diffusion from origin to host countries, but also in the opposite direction, as well as within and across destinations. Distinguishing between information access and knowledge exchanges remain a major item of the research agenda. | | Keyword(s): | migration ; innovation ; diffusion | | Auteur(s) : | Francesco LISSONI | | JEL Class.: | O33, F22, J61 | Télécharger le cahier Retour à la liste des Cahier du GRETHA (2016) |
