Economics Letters, 2012, vol. 117, issue 3, 632-635

Abstract: I analyze whether participation in international student exchange programs during university studies affects the subsequent decision to work abroad among Italian graduates. My findings suggest that studying abroad increases likelihood of working abroad by between 18 and 24 percentage points.
