DESCRIPTION:We study how foreign language proficiency affects brain drain b
 y exploiting the heterogenous exposure of Albania to Italian television in 
 the second half of the twentieth century. We document that\, due to geograp
 hical proximity\, the Italian TV signal accidentally reached Albania and\, 
 conditional on geographic conditions\, Albanians' exposure to the signal wa
 s as good as random. We find that exposure to Italian TV led to a considera
 ble increase in Italian proficiency rates and strongly increased the probab
 ility of migrating of highly skilled individuals while not affecting other 
 skill groups. We rule out other channels through which TV might affect migr
 ation and interpret our findings as the effect of foreign language proficie
 ncy on brain drain.\\n\\nContact: Sullivan Hué : sullivan.hue[at]univ-amu.
