Aid, Remittances, Medical Brain Drain and Child Mortality: Evidence Using Inter and Intra-Country Data
利用84个发展中国家的面板数据和46个国家的跨国五分位数据，分析了援助、汇款和医疗人才流失对儿童死亡率的影响，发现汇款降低死亡率而医疗人才流失增加死亡率，健康援助也有降低作用但效果较弱。
Abstract This article analyses the respective impact of aid, remittances and medical brain drain (MBD) on child mortality using panel and cross-country quintile-level data on respectively 84 and 46 developing countries. Our results show that remittances reduce child mortality while MBD increases it. Health aid also significantly reduces child mortality but its impact is less robust than the impact of remittances. Remittances seem to be more effective in reducing mortality for children belonging to households from the upper classes, whereas neither a pro-poor nor anti-poor effect is found for health aid.
