确保足够数量的积极健康专业人员的需要是英国NHS现代化的前沿。本文的目的是评估目前对护士劳动力供应行为的了解，并提出进一步研究的议程。特别是，本文回顾了美国和英国的经济学文献，这些文献侧重于基于经典静态劳动力供给模型的实证计量经济学研究。美国的研究可分为第一代、第二代和最近的经验证据。方法方面的进步反映了一般劳动经济学文献中的进步，包括有限因变量模型的使用和样本选择问题的处理。然而，结果有相当大的差异，这取决于使用的方法，特别是工资的影响。只有一项研究发现使用了英国的数据，尽管其他研究调查了人员流失率、离职率和工作满意度的决定因素。进一步实证研究的议程包括分析劳动力供应功能的不连续性，金钱和非金钱工作特征的相对重要性，以及动态和家庭劳动力供应模型在护理研究中的应用。这类研究对于制定基于证据的政策至关重要。版权所有(C)2002 John Wiley Sons，Ltd.
The need to ensure adequate numbers of motivated health professionals is at the forefront of the modernisation of the UK NHS. The aim of this paper is to assess current understanding of the labour supply behaviour of nurses, and to propose an agenda for further research. In particular, the paper reviews American and British economics literature that focuses on empirical econometric studies based on the classical static labour supply model.American research could be classified into first generation, second generation and recent empirical evidence. Advances in methods mirror those in the general labour economics literature, and include the use of limited dependent variable models and the treatment of sample selection issues. However, there is considerable variation in results, which depends on the methods used, particularly on the effect of wages.Only one study was found that used UK data, although other studies examined the determinants of turnover, quit rates and job satisfaction. The agenda for further empirical research includes the analysis of discontinuities in the labour supply function, the relative importance of pecuniary and non-pecuniary job characteristics, and the application of dynamic and family labour supply models to nursing research. Such research is crucial to the development of evidence-based policies. Copyright (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
