Foreign Students in U.S. Doctoral Programs
基于1996年调查数据，描绘了美国经济学博士项目中外国学生的概况，包括教育评估、兴趣和职业规划，并分析了外国学生比例上升的原因和影响。
In 1996, foreigners represented over half of the doctoral student population in economics, up from 20 percent in 1972. This article presents a profile of foreign students in economics Ph.D. programs in the United States based on survey and interview data collected in 1996. In addition to exploring students' assessment of their education, interests and career plans, the authors offer explanations for the rising proportion of foreign students, explore the implications of this phenomenon, and suggest the need for further research on the teaching of economics and the practice of the profession, both in the United States and abroad.
