This paper studies the impact of hospital competition on waiting times. We use a Salop-type model, with hospitals that … between neighbouring hospitals (competitive segment), and low-benefit patients who decide whether or not to demand treatment … from the closest hospital (monopoly segment). Compared with a benchmark case of monopoly, we find that hospital competition …

We analyse the effect of competition on quality in hospital markets with regulated prices, considering both the effect … of (i) introducing competition (monopoly versus competition) and (ii) increasing competition through lower transportation … costs (increased substitutability) or a higher number of hospitals. With semi-altruistic providers and a fairly general cost …
