Can Foreign Health Assistance Reduce the Medical Brain Drain?
基于1998-2004年50个来源国的医生移民率数据，分析发现外国卫生援助显著降低了医生移民率，且技术援助比资金援助效果更明显。
In this article, we analyse the impact of foreign health aid on the emigration rates of physicians. The analysis is based on a dataset of physician emigration rates from 50 source countries between 1998 and 2004. First, we investigate the direct impact of health assistance using the generalised method of moments estimation, and we highlight the significant negative effect of foreign health assistance on the medical brain drain. Second, we show that this effect results more from technical assistance than from financial assistance. Finally, the robustness of our analysis is verified to confirm the validity of the results.
