Abstract

As universities have become more integrated into their communities and regions, their host cities have become locations of choice for the highly educated facilitating increased innovation and productivity rates in several locales. Recent transitions toward knowledge-driven economies have also intensified growing geographic divides along the lines of education and raised concerns about the possibility of brain drain in a growing number of cities/regions. This study examines the changing geography of highly educated individuals (2000–2017) with a focus on small and medium-sized U.S. metropolitan areas with and without research universities. Results indicate the continuing trend of divergence among regions, but research universities are found to complement (the lack of) talent agglomeration and generate spatial spillovers beyond the county boundaries.

研究中小城市的人才吸引和保留:大学在哪里?
随着大学越来越多地融入社区和地区,它们所在的城市已成为高学历学生的首选地点,促进了一些地区创新和生产率的提高。最近向知识驱动型经济的转型也加剧了教育方面日益扩大的地理鸿沟,并引起了人们对越来越多的城市/地区可能出现的人才流失的担忧。本研究考察了高学历人群的地理变化(2000-2017年),重点关注了有或没有研究型大学的美国中小型大都市地区。研究结果表明,区域间的差异仍在继续,但研究型大学对人才集聚的补充(不足)和产生跨县的空间溢出效应。
