Abstract
This paper examines the impact of international talent inflow on export technology complexity and Mesomeric effect. The findings indicate that (1) the inflow of international talents, particularly academic students, significantly promotes the complexity of export technology, and this conclusion is robust. (2) The promotion effect of international talent is more pronounced in the eastern region compared to the central and western regions, and it is more significant for capital and technology-intensive export technology complexity compared to labor-intensive export technology. (3) The pathway of "international talent, technological innovation, export technological complexity" is validated, with technological innovation acting as a partial mediator. Therefore, it is recommended to leverage the innovative potential of international talents, foster regional and industry collaboration, enhance export technology complexity, and establish a more open trade pattern.
