Research publications reflect the views of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff, officers, or Board of Directors of the Public Policy Institute of California. Foreword In the 1940s, the author Carey McWilliams coined a phrase to characterize California’s penchant for innovation and experimentation. He called it “the edge of novelty” and remarked that “Californians have become so used to the idea of experimentation—they have had to experiment so often—that they are psychologically prepared to try anything.” Waves of migrants and immigrants over the past 150 years of California history have been attracted to our “edge of novelty,” and they have consistently found California a place that fosters creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, AnnaLee Saxenian documents one of the latest, and most dramatic, examples of California as a location that attracts immigrant entrepreneurs.

  • Silicon Valley's New Immigrant Entrepreneurs
    The Center for Comparative Immigration Studies CCIS University of California, San Diego Silicon Valley’s New Immigrant Entrepreneurs By AnnaLee Saxenian University of California, Santa Cruz Working Paper 15 May 2000 2 Silicon Valley's New Immigrant Entrepreneurs AnnaLee Saxenian Debates over the immigration of scientists and engineers to the United States focus primarily on the extent to which foreign-born professionals displace native workers, or on the existence of invisible barriers to mobility, or "glass ceilings," experienced by non-native professionals. Both approaches assume that the primary economic contribution of immigrants is as a source of relatively low-cost labor, even in the most technologically advanced sectors of the economy (McCarthy and Vernez, 1997). The view from sending countries, by contrast, has historically been that the emigration of highly skilled personnel to the United States represents a significant economic loss, or "brain drain," which deprives their economies of their best and brightest. Neither of these views is adequate in today's increasingly global economy. Debates over the extent to which immigrants displace native workers overlook evidence that foreign-born scientists and engineers are starting new businesses and generating jobs and wealth for the state economy at least as fast as their native counterparts (Borjas, 1994, 1995; Smith and Edmondston, 1997). Similarly, the dynamism of emerging regions in Asia and elsewhere means that it is no longer valid to assume that skilled immigrants will stay permanently in the United States. Recent research suggests that the "brain drain" may be giving way to a process of "brain circulation," as talented immigrants who study and work in the United States return to their home countries to take advantage of promising opportunities there.
