Abstract: This article reviews recent research regarding high-skilled migration. We adopt a data-driven perspective, bringing together and describing several ongoing research streams that range from the construction of global mi- gration databases, to the legal codification of national policies regarding high-skilled migration, to the analysis of patent data regarding cross-border inventor movements. A common theme throughout this research is the im- portance of agglomeration economies for explaining high-skilled migration. We highlight some key recent findings and outline major gaps in the litera- ture that we hope will be tackled in the near future.
