La Infuencia de los Doctorados en Estados Unidos en el Mundo

Un interesante trabajo del NBER que analiza la participación en el mundo de aquellos que han obtenido doctorados en Estados Unidos en ciencia e ingenieria.

Básicamente señala como han aumentado sustancialmente en las últimas tres décadas que ahora sobrepasan a los de Estados Unidos. En 2003, receptores de doctorados (de universidades de Estados Unidos) afuera de Estados Unidos representan el 50% en ciencias físicas, 67% en ingenierias y 68% en economía. Lo que llaman la internacionalización de la educación norteamericana.

"One of the most significant transformations in U.S. graduate education and the international market for highly-trained workers in science and engineering during the last quarter century is the representation of students from outside of the United States among the ranks of doctorate recipients from U.S. universities. In all but the life sciences, the foreign share of Ph.D. recipients now equals or exceeds the share from the United States. Students from outside the United States accounted for 51 percent of Ph.D. recipients in science and engineering in 2003, up from 27 percent in 1973. In 2003, doctorate recipients from outside the United States accounted for 50 percent of Ph.D.s awarded in the physical sciences, 67 percent in engineering, and 68 percent in economics.
