Abstract
This paper applies propensity score matching to data from a recent Flash Eurobarometer survey (covering 27 European Union countries) in order to estimate the effect of participation in international education mobility programmes on young people's environmental attitudes. The empirical results consistently show that an education experience abroad has a modest but statistically significant positive effect on environmental concerns. This finding sheds light on the important role that studying abroad can play in promoting environmental awareness among the youth.

To broaden the discourse on the role of international cooperation and exchange in developing the human capacity to work in a global setting, the Journal of Studies in International Education provides a forum combining the research of scholars, models from practitioners in the public or private sector, and essays. The journal publishes research, essays, and reviews on international education. Articles place issues at the primary, secondary, higher education, professional exchange, and lifelong learning levels in a global context. Topics include: study abroad; curriculum reform; faculty development; and development assistance. Articles on related topics such as public policy and internationalization strategies also appear in the Journal.
