摘要：This paper examines possible determinants of physicians' emigration from a wide set of developing countries, using count data analysis. We find that standard-of-living, health-infrastructure, and workload in source countries play important roles in such medical brain drain. Also the emigration culture, governance and colonial history of the sending country affect such expatriation. Better health-infrastructure, work environment as well as strict anti-emigration policies can help reduce such important brain-drain for developing countries.
