Human capital is indispensable for regional innovation and economic growth, and PhD graduates (PhDs) play an important role in these processes. This is the first study describing the geographic origin and current work location of PhDs from Dutch universities, which are located in a densely populated area with a high concentration of basic science and science-based industries. Our study shows that their country of origin is strongly related to the field of study, as engineering PhDs were born outside The Netherlands much more often than PhDs from other fields. Furthermore, we show that PhDs disproportionally come from the same region as where the PhD university is located. PhDs also frequently did their pre-PhD degree at the university where they obtained their PhD degree. Finally, a disproportionate number of PhDs stay in the PhD region to work, especially if they also did their pre-PhD degrees at the PhD university. The extent of PhDs staying in the PhD region varies by sector, with PhDs in the higher education sector staying in the PhD region more often than PhDs working in other sectors. This implies that the geographic concentration of PhDs in the region of the PhD university is mainly due to PhDs staying to work at the same university rather than employment opportunities in other (science-based) industries—a finding at odds with Dutch science policy, which promotes mobility in academia but also stresses the importance of the region in innovation by science-based industries.

荷兰博士教育的地理位置:来自五所荷兰大学的最新博士学位的来历和当前工作地点

人力资本对于区域创新和经济增长必不可少,而博士学位毕业生(PhDs)在这些过程中起着重要作用。这是第一项描述荷兰大学博士学位的地理起源和当前工作地点的研究,这些大学位于人口稠密的地区,基础科学和基于科学的产业高度集中。我们的研究表明,他们的原籍国与研究领域密切相关,因为工程博士学位的出生频率比其他领域的博士学位高。此外,我们显示,博士与博士大学所在的地区不成比例。博士还经常在获得博士学位的大学获得博士学位前学位。最终,有不成比例的博士留在博士区工作,特别是如果他们还在博士学位大学攻读博士学位之前。留在博士学位地区的博士学位的程度因行业而异,高等教育部门的博士学位留在博士学位地区的人数要多于其他部门的博士学位。这意味着博士学位在该大学所在地区的地理集中主要是由于博士留在同一所大学工作,而不是其他(基于科学的)行业的就业机会,这与荷兰的科学政策不一致。促进学术界的流动性,但同时也强调该地区在以科学为基础的产业创新中的重要性。高等教育领域的博士留在博士地区的频率高于其他领域的博士。这意味着博士学位在该大学所在地区的地理集中主要是由于博士留在同一所大学工作,而不是其他(基于科学的)行业的就业机会,这与荷兰的科学政策不一致。促进学术界的流动性,但同时也强调该地区在以科学为基础的产业创新中的重要性。高等教育领域的博士留在博士地区的频率高于其他领域的博士。这意味着博士学位在该大学所在地区的地理集中主要是由于博士留在同一所大学工作,而不是其他(基于科学的)行业的就业机会,这与荷兰的科学政策不一致。促进学术界的流动性,但同时也强调该地区在以科学为基础的产业创新中的重要性。
