摘要：This paper uses a unique individual level administrative data set to analyse the participa- tion of health professionals in the NHS after training. The data set contains information on over 1,000 dentists who received Dental Vocational Training in Scotland between 1995 and 2006. Using a dynamic nonlinear panel data model, we estimate the determinants of post-training participation. We .nd there is signi.cant persistence in these data and are able to show that the persistence arises from state dependence and individual hetero- geneity. This .nding has implications for the structure of policies designed to increase participation rates. We apply this empirical framework to assess the accuracy of predic- tions for workforce forecasting, and to provide a preliminary estimate of the impact of one of the recruitment and retention policies available to dentists in Scotland.
