An internal rate of return approach to investigate pharmacist supply in the united states
通过比较1987-1991年美国药剂师与大学毕业生的内部收益率，发现药剂师短缺，并讨论了药学院招生和培训变化对劳动力市场的影响。
Internal rates of return were used to examine the status of pharmacist supply in the United States between the years 1987-1991. Age-earnings profiles were estimated for pharmacists, college graduates and high school graduates. Rates of return to pharmacists and college graduates were compared and a ratio of the pharmacist rate to the college graduate rate was computed for each year. Results suggest a shortage of pharmacists in the United States. Enrollments in pharmacy schools and adopted changes in the training of pharmacists are discussed in relation to their effects on the pharmacist labour market.
