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. 410 0$aFinanzwissenschaftliche Schriften Series 606 $aMedical care$xFinance 606 $aCompetition 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aEconomics, Medical$3(DNLM)D004470 606 $aHealthcare Financing$3(DNLM)D061889 606 $aPolitical economy$2bicssc 606 $aHealth economics$2bicssc 606 $aWelfare economics$2bicssc 610 $aCare 610 $aCompetition 610 $aGesundheitsökonomik 610 $aGesundheitspolitik 610 $aGesundheitswesen 610 $aHausarztprinzip 610 $aHealth 610 $aNuscheler 610 $aPreisregelung 610 $aPreisregulierung 610 $aQualität 610 $aRegulation 610 $aRisikoselektion 610 $aSystems 610 $aWettbewerbspolitik 615 0$aMedical care$xFinance. 615 0$aCompetition. 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 2$aEconomics, Medical. 615 2$aHealthcare Financing. 615 7$aPolitical economy 615 7$aHealth economics 615 7$aWelfare economics 676 $a362.1/068/1 700 $aNuscheler$b Robert$4aut$0943189 702 $aKonrad$b Kai Andreas$4edt 702 $aNuscheler$b Robert$4aut 801 0$bPH02 801 1$bPH02 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910297040303321 996 $aOn competition and regulation in health care systems$92128715 997 $aUNINA
