US patents awarded to Finnish inventors, and the intake into university level (masters) engineering education in Finland.
The catch is that the two highly correlated graphs (coeff 0.98) are from different periods: the patent series is from
1981-2007, the intake of engineering students from 1951-77.
there is some reason to think that there could be a relationship between a policy that was implemented from the 1950s to
the 1970s and outcomes measured in the 1990s.

We estimate that around 30% of Nobel Laureates resided outside their home country at the time of their award.
Figure 1. Immigrant and emigrant inventors (in thousands), and net migration position, 2001-2010
Immigrant inventors account for 18% of all inventors residing in the US.
Several small European countries see even higher immigration rates , BE (19%), IR (20%), Lux (35%), and CH (38%).
