Description
The proper balance between the private and public sectors in health care, and the means of financing these sectors, are matters of particular concern in Western industrialized nations. This study focuses on the workings of individuals or groups within the various mixed systems in Europe, and examines how they respond to the different institutional incentives that confront them and how they interact with one another. In their search for the optimal behaviour model of health care institutions, the contributors compare the efficiency of public and private dentistry, homes for the elderly, child care and hospitals. They also explore the problems involved in measuring the economic size and equity of health care sectors in different countries. The contributors are Nick Bosanquet, John A. Cairns, Julian Le Grand, Tor Iversen, Ken Judge, Martin Knapp, Robert E. Leu, Jaana-Marja Muurinen, Niels Christian Pedersen, Jean-Pierre Poullier, Matthew Rabin, and Harri Sintonen.
