I'm from Canada and am very surprised at Canada's high rankings. Wondering if the authors took into account the relative differences between university / college systems across countries. Canada has a lot more "colleges" (i.e. technical schools) relative to universities -- our terminology is literally different here. Curious if it in any way affects the results.
There's also a related issue of brain drains / gains to related industries (e.g., banking or corporate analytics) within countries.
