摘要

The history of the development of sub-Saharan African countries reveals that their trajectory has experienced upheavals causing recurrent migratory movements. As a result, a section of the skilled workforce that should contribute to the development of these countries constitutes an employment pool for host countries. This reality, which varies from one political regime to another, led us to analyse the effects of political instability on the brain drain from countries with presidential regimes in sub-Saharan Africa. To do this, we estimated the instrumental variable mean group model developed by Norkutė et al. (J Econom 220:416-446, 2021) using data from the Fund for Peace, Coup and Mechanisms Data and World Development Indicators over the period 2007–2021. The main result is that political instability has a driving effect on the brain drain. This observation gave rise to economic policy implications, particularly the establishment of multi-sector monitoring units.
