France and Spain sense an opportunity as top professors seek employment outside Britain
Luis Garicano arrived in the UK a decade ago to take up the role of professor of economics and strategy in the department for management at the London School of Economics. Today, he is preparing to return home to Spain, where he will join Madrid’s IE Business School as a member of faculty and to lead its newly created centre for the digital economy. “Spain is open to business and open to foreigners in a way the UK no longer is,” he says. “There is no anti-immigrant party in Spain.” One year after UK voters decided by referendum to leave the EU, business schools find their academics are quitting to work in other European countries.
