International student applications in the UK after Brexit
利用行政数据和双重差分法，研究发现英国脱欧使国际学生申请增长率下降7%，且对STEM专业和来自经济较弱国家的学生影响更大，暗示长期居留能力是关键因素。
Abstract On 23 June 2016, the people of the UK voted to leave the European Union. This article examines how Brexit impacted international student applications. Using administrative data along with a difference-in-differences approach, we find that Brexit curtailed the growth rate of international student applications by 7 per cent even before tuition fees had changed, ultimately lowering enrolment as well. The impact is larger for applications to pursue STEM studies, as well as for those from countries with worse employment prospects and weaker economies, hinting on students’ ability to stay long-term in the UK as an important pull factor.
