Abstract

This paper offers an assessment of the impact of government-funded student mobility programs in higher education on economic growth and political freedom in the sending country. Using panel data regression, the paper estimates the impact of government-funded cross-border mobility programs compared to privately funded cross-border mobility, and the magnitude of impact across different types of government-funded programs.
