  • health care exceptionalism performance and allocation in the us health care Sector
    The American Economic Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Amitabh Chandra, Amy Finkelstein, Adam Sacarny, Chad Syverson
    Abstract:

    The conventional wisdom in health economics is that idiosyncratic features of the Healthcare Sector leave little scope for market forces to allocate consumers to higher performance producers. However, we find robust evidence across a variety of conditions and performance measures that higher quality hospitals tend to have higher market shares at a point in time and expand more over time. Moreover, we find that the relationship between performance and allocation is stronger among patients who have greater scope for hospital choice, suggesting a role for patient demand in allocation in the hospital Sector. Our findings suggest that the Healthcare Sector may have more in common with “traditional” Sectors subject to standard market forces than is often assumed.

  • Healthcare exceptionalism productivity and allocation in the u s Healthcare Sector
    Research Papers in Economics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Amitabh Chandra, Amy Finkelstein, Adam Sacarny, Chad Syverson
    Abstract:

    The conventional wisdom in health economics is that large differences in average productivity across hospitals are the result of idiosyncratic, institutional features of the Healthcare Sector which dull the role of market forces. Strikingly, however, we find that productivity dispersion in heart attack treatment across hospitals is, if anything, smaller than in narrowly defined manufacturing industries such as ready-mixed concrete. While this fact admits multiple interpretations, we also find evidence against the conventional wisdom that the Healthcare Sector does not operate like an industry subject to standard market forces. In particular, we find that hospitals that are more productive at treating heart attacks have higher market shares at a point in time and are more likely to expand over time. For example, a 10 percent increase in hospital productivity today is associated with about 4 percent more patients in 5 years. Taken together, these facts suggest that the Healthcare Sector may have more in common with "traditional" Sectors than is often assumed.
