contents We study a going-down principle for {é}tale groupoids and its applications, extending the earlier results for locally compact groups by Chabert, Echterhoff and Oyono-Oyono, and for ample groupoids by B{ö}nicke and by B{ö}nicke-Dell'Aiera. The proof in the general {é}tale groupoid setting is based on a more detailed study of groupoid simplicial complexes. We also study a bicategorical functoriality involving the induction functors from {é}tale groupoid correspondences, which was introduced by Miller. This yields a bicategorical interpretation of the induction-restriction adjunction. As an application of the going-down principle, we provide a proof of the split injectivity of Baum-Connes assembly map for {é}tale groupoids that are strongly amenable at infinity, recovering a result obtained by B{ö}nicke and Proietti via a categorical approach. The going-down principle is also applied on the proof of continuity of topological K-theory of {é}tale groupoids and the study of scope of validity of K{ü}nneth formulas.
