Distance of Moves by Elite Scientists

Notes: We determine moves by extracting information on institutions from biographical records and then calculate geographic distance between the zip codes of the institutions. We limit our empirical attention to transitions that are at least 50 miles apart to ensure that the career transition led the scientists to change their place of residence. Section III for a full description of how the sample and variables were constructed.
