- Abstract
- Current literature on the topics of immigration and entrepreneurship focuses on visa barriers, competitive advantages, and positive economic contributions of immigrants in the U.S. My thesis applies quantitative, qualitative, and longitudinal analyses to asses 1) U.S. higher education institutions’ ability to attract and retain highly skilled immigrants and 2) national startup formation capabilities. This thesis suggests that U.S. higher education institutions remain attractive to highly skilled immigrants in specific fields of study; findings also reveal Asia’s fast-growing startup formation capability, possibly leveraging immigrants’ strong indirect influence on entrepreneurial ecosystems as part of the reverse brain drain phenomenon in the global flow of entrepreneurial talent.
