The Birthplace Diversity Indices were created by Alberto Alesina, Johann Harnoss and Hillel Rapoport. They are available for 190 countries, 1990-2000, and disaggregated by 2 levels of educational attainment. The dataset is based on bilateral migration stock data published in Artuc, E., F. Docquier, C. Özden and C. Parsons (2015), "A Global Assessment of Human Capital Mobility: The Role of non-OECD Destinations." World Development, 65: 6-26. The data are available in Stata and CSV formats. The data set is described in Alesina, A., J. Harnoss and H. Rapoport, "Birthplace Diversity and Economic Prosperity" (NBER Working paper 18699)
