Do markets deliver? Competition and Choice in European healthcare markets
综合分析了欧洲医疗保健改革中引入竞争和选择对患者和纳税人结果的影响，总结了现有经济研究的已知和未知，并指出了未来研究方向。
Abstract In the last two decades European policy makers have sought to increase the use of market mechanisms in the delivery of healthcare. These reforms introduce competition and choice into previously heavily constrained environments. This leads to a set of interesting economic issues that have been addressed in a range of papers, both theoretical and empirical. This paper examines whether this popular reform model has resulted in improvements in outcomes for patients and/or taxpayers. It synthesises the existing economic analyses, highlights what is known and what is not, and signals potential next steps for economic research.
