Abstract: This paper examines how the growth in the number of foreign students enrolled in graduate programs affects native enrollment in those programs.Although there is little evidence of a crowdout effect for the typical native student, the impact of foreign students on native educational outcomes differs dramatically across ethnic groups, and is particularly adverse for white native men.There is a strong negative correlation between increases in the number of foreign students enrolled at a particular university and the number of white native men in that university's graduate program.This crowdout effect is strongest at the most elite institutions.
