Estimating the Stay Rate for Foreign Doctorate Recipients ofU. S. Universities

本研究将提供美国外籍博士生留美率的估计。S.通过研究社会保障管理局关于在美国工作的人的数据，这项研究将加强目前的信息，从“国家的意图”在年度NSF获得博士学位的调查中获得的外国学生的逗留率。意图可以改变。研究方法利用1983年、1985年和1986年获得博士学位的外国人的社会保障号码来确定谁在以后几年（1985-90年）挣工资。1985年对一年的博士数据进行了类似的研究，1982年，测量完成博士学位后一年和两年的逗留率。第一项研究的结果非常准确。目前的研究将更新关于最近获得博士学位的人的居留率的信息，并扩大关于最多七年居留时间的信息。这些被雇用的外国科学和工程博士的信息是科学和工程劳动力统计的重要组成部分，对国会和科学政策决策者至关重要。

This project will provide estimates of the stay rate of foreign doctorate recipients from U. S. universities by examining Social Security Administration data on those working in the United States. This research will strengthen current information of stay rates of foreign students obtained from the "states intentions" given in the annual NSF Survey of Earned Doctorates. Intentions can change. The research approach utilizes the social security numbers of foreign nationals who obtained doctorates in 1983, 1985, and 1986, to determine who is earning wages in later years (1985-90). A similar study was conducted in 1985 on one year of doctoral data, in 1982, measuring stay rates one and two years after completion of the doctorate. The results of the first study were very accurate. The current study would update information on the stay rate of recent doctoral recipients and expand information on the length of stay of up to seven years. This information of employed foreign S&E doctorates is an important component of the S&E labor force statistics and of vital interest to Congress and science policy decision-makers.
