Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide empirical analysis of the geographical mobility of PhDs between French regions by using long term data (1970-2000). First of all, we highlight the low mobility of PhDs: more than 60% of them supervise their first PhD in the region where they defended their own one. We then test the impact of structural determinants with a gravity model (sample selection model) and we observe in particular the influence of the scientific size of regions and spatial distance on the PhDs' mobility.
