ABSTRACT This study identifies a non-linear and ‘U’-shaped relationship between interregional human capital mobility, measured using a data set on the mobility of university graduates from the top-100 Russian universities, and the presence high-growth firms (HGFs) in Russian regions. The initial rise in the number of HGFs is due to the relatively low concentration of highly skilled migrants and the confinement of innovation to a small number of firms. When the number of high-skilled migrants increases and a larger number of firms innovate, the competition effect strengthens which, in turn, leads to the decrease in a number of HGFs.

俄罗斯高技能的区域间移民和高成长企业

摘要这项研究确定了区域间人力资本流动性之间的非线性和“ U”形关系，该关系使用关于俄罗斯排名前100位大学的大学毕业生流动性和存在的高增长公司（HGF）的数据集来衡量在俄罗斯地区。HGF数量的最初增长是由于高技能移民的相对较低以及创新只限于少数公司。随着高技能移民人数的增加和大量公司的创新，竞争效应增强，反过来又导致HGF数量减少。
