| Abstract | "Although the U.S. is home to just 4.4 percent of the world's population, it is by far the most attractive destination for skilled immigrants. Indeed, more than a quarter of all STEM jobs in the health care, information, finance, and education industries are held by immigrants. Engaging original empirical analysis of new data, this volume's contributions shows the links between immigration policy in determining who can come into the country and the rate of innovation among immigrants. The research also brings into focus the relationship between high-skilled immigration and entrepreneurship and to differences between immigrant and native entrepreneurs. The contributors look at both immigrants who come here for work and those who come originally for education"-- Provided by publisher. |
