| Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyzes the effect of competition on quality in hospital markets with regulated prices, considering the effect of both introducing competition (monopoly vs competition) and increasing competition through either lower transportation costs (increased substitutability) or a higher number of hospitals. With semi-altruistic providers and a fairly general cost structure, it is illustrated that the relationship between competition and quality is generally ambiguous. |
