Abstract

We examine whether there is any movement in the employment of native-educated nurses due to the influx of foreign-educated nurses. To avoid conflating the short- and long-term reactions to the entry of newly arrived foreign-educated nurses, we implement a multiple instrumentation procedure. We find that there is no significant effect of foreign-educated nurses on the employment of native nurses in both the short- and the long-runs. Our results suggest that relying on foreign-educated nurses to fill gaps in the US healthcare workforce does not harm the employment of native nurses.

外籍受教育的护士会取代本地受教育的护士吗？

摘要

我们研究了由于外来教育护士的涌入，在当地受过本地教育的护士的就业情况是否有任何变化。为了避免将短期和长期的反应与新来的外国受过教育的护士混为一谈，我们实施了多种检测程序。我们发现，无论短期还是长期，外籍护士对本地护士的雇用都没有显着影响。我们的结果表明，依靠外籍护士来填补美国医护人员的空缺不会损害本地护士的就业。
