[en] In this paper, we provide alternative measures of the brain drain by
defining skilled immigrants as those arrived in the receiving country after
age 12, 18 or 22. We use data on age of entry collected in a sample
of OECD countries and then estimate the age-of-entry structure in the
remaining host countries. The corrected brain drain rates are obviously
below the global rates calculated in Docquier and Marfouk (2006).
