المستخلص Is the brain drain a curse or a boon for developing countries? In the face of it, what are the policy options open to international organizations and home country governments? This paper reviews what is known to date about the magnitude of the brain drain from developing to developed countries and the way such skilled migration affects the source country. In a first, descriptive section, we characterize the determinants, evolution and spatial distribution of the brain drain. We distinguish several measures based on education attainment, age of entry and occupation. We then review the traditional literature and explain why the brain is a major issue of concern for origin countries. Section 3 provides a theoretical and empirical discussion of the various channels through which the brain drain positively impacts on sending countries. Finally, we discuss the implications for migration, education and taxation policies. .
