Seminar: "International Student Applications in the United Kingdom After Brexit"
Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes (University of California Merced) On June 23, 2016, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. We examine how this decision (henceforth, Brexit) has impacted international student applications in the United Kingdom. Using administrative data spanning from 2013 through 2019, we find evidence of Brexit curtailing the growth rate of international student applications by seven percent.
