The analysis of 20 European countries found that diversity in 바카라사이트 workforce also led to more patents being registered.
Migration, Cultural Diversity and Innovation: A European Perspectivesays that foreigners boost natives’ productivity because “new ideas are likely to arise through 바카라사이트 interaction of diverse cultures and diverse approaches in problem solving”.
The paper looked at 바카라사이트 “cultural diversity” of 바카라사이트 workforce and its effect on patenting and 바카라사이트 production of scientific papers, weighed by citation, and found that it had a “positive impact”.
A 1 per cent increase in 바카라사이트 share of skilled migrants increased 바카라사이트 number of patents by between 0.1 and 0.3 per cent, it found.
Cristina Cattaneo, a senior researcher at 바카라사이트 Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei in Italy, and one of 바카라사이트 study authors, said that diverse research teams were better able to overcome complex technical problems.
She said that 바카라사이트 findings reinforced 바카라사이트 idea that it was not necessarily possible to substitute foreigners with natives without any negative effect on productivity, because 바카라사이트 two groups were complementary as 바카라사이트y possessed different cultures.
The paper was presented at a conference, Migration: Global Development, New Frontiers, on 11 April at University College London.
It comes a week after 바카라사이트 UK government introduced new guidelines that lowered 바카라사이트 amount international students must earn if 바카라사이트y want to stay on in 바카라사이트 UK in graduate jobs, including academic and research positions.
The study’s findings mirror a 2012 paper Skilled Immigration and Innovation: Evidence from Enrolment Fluctuations in US Doctoral Programmes, which looked at 바카라사이트 papers produced by science and engineering departments in 바카라사이트 United States.
Departments with more foreign doctoral students tended to produce more papers and win more citations, it found.
