Competition and Monopoly in Medical Care
Author: H.E. Frech III
ISBN: 0-8447-3884-0
Publisher: AEI Press
Competition has become more important in health care in recent years, both in fact and in theory. The study of competition is itself a growth industry. The literature is large, but diffuse and poorly connected.
This book is designed to survey synthesize the literature, to explain what is known from the research literature about how competition and monopoly operate in the health sector. The main topics include competition among hospitals, physicians and health care plans. Adverse selection and supply-induced-demand also get chapter length treatments.
