Historically, a relatively high percentage of U.S. S&E doctoral degree recipients from the United Kingdom planned to stay in the United States, whereas France and Italy had small percentages compared with other Western European countries (NSF/SRS 1998). However, by 2001, 50 percent or more of the doctoral degree students from these countries had firm plans to stay, as did those from Germany (figure 2-31 ). Stay rates for Eastern European doctoral degree recipients were high, exceeded only by those for India (appendix table 2-31 ).
