人们发现，职业许可证限制了专业人员的地域流动。以前在这一领域的研究使用的数据在美国的专业人员的州际流动。这项工作在国际移民规则的背景下重新考虑了职业许可。这种关系与《服务贸易总协定》中关于自然人流动的讨论有关。本文采用条件logit模型和嵌套logit模型研究了两类管制之间的关系。结果证实，在决定潜在的外国工程服务提供商选择目的地国的概率方面，移民规则比职业许可更重要。JEL分类：F22，F14，J44，J61，K23，K33
Occupational licensing has been found to inhibit the geographical mobility of professionals. Previous studies in this area have used data on interstate mobility of professionals in the United States. This work reconsiders occupational licensing in the context of international migration rules. This relationship is relevant under the discussions on the Movement of Natural Persons in the General Agreement on Trade in Services. A conditional logit model and a nested logit model are used to study the relationship between the two types of regulation. The results verify the greater importance of immigration rules over occupational licensing in determining the probability of choosing a destination country for potential foreign providers of engineering services.
