Abstract	"Regensburg, the fourth largest city in Bavaria, and its surrounding areas were until the early 1980s considered to be among the crisis regions of Germany. In the past 30 years, however, the region has experienced deep structural transformation and is nowadays ranked as one of Bavaria's economic hot-spots. Several decisions can be seen as catalysts for this still ongoing dynamic development. Probably the most important one - apart from the establishment of a BMW production plant - was the opening of the University of Regensburg in 1967, which had and still has a strong impact on the skill structure of the local labour force. The city also implemented a regional cluster policy that connected economic activities with the new opportunities arising from the young higher education institute. In this paper we take a closer look at where all the graduates of the University of Regensburg have gone since 1995 by drawing on a unique data source in which data about individual graduates is linked to German social security data. Through this we are able to evaluate to what extent graduates stay in the region after finishing their studies. We find a significant 'adhesive effect' both for students originating in the region and students from outside the region. We therefore conclude that the university plays a key role in the dynamic economic development of the region." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
