    COMPETITION AND QUALITY IN HEALTH CARE MARKETS

    by Martin Gaynor (Carnegie Mellon University)

    Competition and Quality in Health Care Markets provides an economic assessment of the impact of competition on quality in health care markets. This book is especially relevant for antitrust policy in countries where there are well established health care markets like the United States and can be used to evaluate market oriented reforms in Europe and elsewhere.

    Competition and Quality in Health Care Markets offers

    • performance standards for competition
    • relevant findings from economic theory
    • empirical evidence on health care competition and quality

    Competition and Quality in Health Care Markets is the most complete and current review of the economics on the impact of competition on health care. This book should be read by health economists, health administrators and policy analysts, and those interested in antitrust and industrial organization.
