This typically involves a shift towards more competition. But still, markets are highly regulated. This study analyzes competition and regulatory measures in four important fields using the modern tools of microeconomic theory and microeconometrics. The book demonstrates how price regulation interacts with the quality of care and shows that non-price competition amongst providers affects the social desirability of a gatekeeping system. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, the conventional wisdom of risk selection by German sickness funds is challenged.Finanzwissenschaftliche Schriften SeriesMedical careFinanceCompetitionMedical policyMedical economicsEconomics, Medical(DNLM)D004470Healthcare Financing(DNLM)D061889Political economybicsscHealth economicsbicsscWelfare economicsbicsscCareCompetitionGesundheitsökonomikGesundheitspolitikGesundheitswesenHausarztprinzipHealthNuschelerPreisregelungPreisregulierungQualitätRegulationRisikoselektionSystemsWettbewerbspolitikMedical careFinance.Competition.Medical policy.Medical economics.Economics, Medical.Healthcare Financing.Political economyHealth economicsWelfare economics362.1/068/1Nuscheler Robertaut943189Konrad Kai AndreasedtNuscheler RobertautPH02PH02BOOK9910297040303321On competition and regulation in health care systems2128715UNINA
