As shown before, a very high variation appears between ECE countries in the evolutions
of the number of students enrolled in medical schools and of the number of graduates.
Therefore, we have decided to estimate for each country a production function of
education in Health. Because in some cases the evolution is not stable during the entire
period of time we have chosen a shorter period of observation in order to estimate the
regression coefficients. Most of the models could be validated with a probability of 99%.
In Bulgaria, Estonia and Slovenia the models could be validated with 90%. But in
Romanian case, the model could not be validated because of the very few cases which
