Abstract: Abstract Aiming to discourage the brain drain and encourage brain gain in India, this study empirically explores the impact of economic growth, human capital development and population density on the high-skilled emigration from India to the United States. Such an interaction between the variables via short- and long-run analysis has been conducted by using the Autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing framework during 1995–2019. It concluded that there is a long-run relationship between the study variables. Further, the evolved outcomes expose that India’s economic growth is able to reduce emigration from India to the USA, while the human capital development and population density foster it both in the short and long run. Based on the finding, the study suggests a set of policies for discouraging the brain drain and encouraging brain gain in India.
