88. This intersects with my family’s story. My dad emigrated from China to the United States in 1995 to study computer science. He has worked as a software engineer for more than twenty years. Compared to Japan, the United States was better able to draw upon a foreign supply of ICT talent through high-skilled immigration and software offshoring. Crucially, imported talent widened the base of software engineering talent in America. As one study concludes, “Relatively few of these imported experts may have been software architects of the highest order, capable of undertaking transformative innovation. However, creating, testing, and implementing software for IT innovation requires both fundamental innovators and programmers undertaking more routine and standardized kinds of software engineering. America’s ability to tap into an increasingly abundant (and increasingly foreign) supply of the latter may have raised the productivity of the former and enabled American firms to outpace their rivals” (Arora, Branstetter, and Drev 2013, 772).
