Abstract

This research employs a quantile-based model to assess the key determinants of Erasmus mobility within European regions. Our analysis highlights the factors contributing to high Erasmus attractiveness, notably urbanization levels, the presence of capital cities, and the quality of governance. In contrast, regions with lower Erasmus appeal are often linked to tourism activity and the risk of developmental stagnation. A significant finding is the pivotal role of government quality, which can transform less attractive regions into more appealing destinations for Erasmus participants. We extensively examine the policy implications arising from the current hands-off approach in the management of Erasmus flows, shedding light on potential interventions to address regional disparities
