This paper studies the impact of hospital competition on waiting times. We use a Salop-type model, with hospitals that … from the closest hospital (monopoly segment). Compared with a benchmark case of monopoly, we find that hospital competition … hospital competition, the effect of increased competition depends on the parameter of measurement: Lower travelling costs …
