Cátia Batista

Cátia Batista, a Professor at Nova School of Business and Economics, and Caroline Theoharides, an Assistant Professor at Amherst College, challenge the traditional view of migration. They explore how skilled emigration might lead to 'brain gain' for home countries through investments in education and remittances. The discussion highlights the transformative role of diaspora networks in boosting economies, the impact of return migration, and the policies needed to harness these benefits. Their insights reshape our understanding of the effects of talent migration.
