Migration, Child Education, Human Capital Accumulation, and a Brain Dilution Tax
Journal of Demographic Economics. 2025. Vol. 91. No. 4. P. 683–700.
I study the effect of educational policy in the host economy on human capital accumulation and growth. The analysis is performed in a two-country growth model with endogenous fertility. I show that a provision of additional free educational services for immigrant children can increase the attractiveness of migration for lower-skilled individuals, which can outweigh the positive effect of this policy on the acquisition of human capital. In contrast, taxation of immigrants in the host country reduces the lower-skilled immigration and can stimulate human capital accumulation if the proceeds are redistributed as an educational subsidy.

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms face intense pressure to internationalize, yet the traditional playbook—lengthy R&D cycles, costly market research, and standardized campaigns—often struggles to deliver local relevance at speed. This article argues that crowdsourcing—digitally mediated, large-scale consumer participation—can complement established internationalization tools by mobilizing local knowledge and community endorsement to mitigate key aspects of the ...

Effects of that policy upon different ethnic groups within Russia, however, have not received systematic attention.
