The Globalization of Postsecondary Education: The Role of International Students in the US Higher Education System
自1980年以来，美国高校国际学生数量翻了两番，影响了全球高技能劳动力供给、美国人才流入和高校财政，但影响因学习层次和院校类型而异，签证政策起调节作用。
In the four decades since 1980, U.S. colleges and universities have seen the number of students from abroad quadruple. This rise in enrollment and degree attainment affects the global supply of highly educated workers, the flow of talent to the U.S. labor market, and the financing of U.S. higher education. Yet, the impacts are far from uniform, with significant differences evident by level of study and type of institution. The determinants of foreign flows to U.S. colleges and universities reflect both changes in student demand from abroad and the variation in market circumstances of colleges and universities, with visa policies serving a mediating role. The consequences of these market mechanisms impact global talent development, the resources of colleges and universities, and labor markets in the U.S. and countries sending students.
