本文试图从接受国的角度确定熟练医疗人员移徙的宏观经济影响。资源分配问题进行了探讨，在理论上，通过开发一个扩展的Rybczynski定理在低维Heckscher-Ohlin框架，和经验，通过开发一个静态的CGE模型为英国扩展的卫生部门组成部分。使用简单的图表，在某些情况下，通过招聘移民熟练工人来扩大卫生部门，与使用国内（非熟练）工人的长期（短期）替代方案相比，这是有利的。从一个正式的分析，非健康产出的变化取决于因素偏差和规模效应。净效应通常是不确定的。从应用模型的主要发现是，进口外国医生和护士到英国产生更高的整体福利收益比一般增加国民保健服务的预算。在工资保护的情况下，福利收益增加。
This paper seeks to determine the macroeconomic impacts of migration of skilled medical personnel from a receiving country's perspective. The resource allocation issues are explored in theory, by developing an extension of the Rybczynski theorem in a low-dimension Heckscher–Ohlin framework, and empirically, by developing a static CGE model for the UK with an extended health sector component. Using simple diagrams, an expansion of the health sector by recruiting immigrant skilled workers in certain cases is shown to compare favorably to the long-term (short-term) alternative of using domestic (unskilled) workers. From a formal analysis, changes in nonhealth outputs are shown to depend on factor-bias and scale effects. The net effects generally are indeterminate. The main finding from the applied model is that importing foreign doctors and nurses into the UK yields higher overall welfare gains than a generic increase in the NHS budget. Welfare gains rise in case of wage protection.
