A country's research output depends primarily on the number of research graduates churned out from its higher education institutions. These institutions work with some exogenous phenomena to produce research graduates. This study investigated the relationship between exogenous inputs and graduation rate in graduate research degree programs in two…

This article models the migration flow of EEA students who graduated from masters and doctoral programmes in UK universities. The increased intra-European mobility of students and graduates is claimed to have crucial positive influence on building Europe's high-skill labour force, which in turn would strengthen its competency in the global…
