Title
Language as a Strategic Choice—Drawing Global Research Talent by Switching to English
Abstract
We show, using a difference-in-difference identification, that introducing English as the official language of instruction in a degree program increases the average journal impact factor (JIF) of new international faculty hires in Dutch and Belgian universities by 12-20%.
These results are robust to a battery of controls including university and time fixed effects as well as university specific time trends. We argue that switching to English reduces labor mobility barriers, allowing universities in non-English speaking countries to recruit from the global talent pool.
