Using rich administrative data covering the universe of NHS hospital admissions from … length of stay than hospitals in less competitive areas. These results indicate that competition improves patient health …

We develop a dynamic model of hospital competition where (i) waiting times increase if demand exceeds supply; (ii …) patients choose a hospital based in part on waiting times; and (iii) hospitals incur waiting time penalties. We show that …
