    Content: This chapter reviews the theory and empirical literature on physician market power, behavior, and motives, referred to collectively as the issue of physician agency. The chapter is organized around an increasingly complex view of the demand conditions facing a physician, beginning with the most simple conception associated with demand and supply, and building through monopolistic competition models with complete information, and finally models with asymmetric information. Institutional features such as insurance, price regulation, managed care networks and noncontractible elements of quality of care are incorporated in turn. The review reveals three mechanisms physicians may use to influence quantity of care provided to patients: quantity setting of a nonretradable service, influencing demand by setting the level of a noncontractible input (quality), and, in an asymmetric-information context, taking an action to influence patient preferences. The third mechanism is known as physician-induced demand. The empirical literature on this topic is reviewed. Theories based on alternatives to profit-maximization as objectives of physicians are also reviewed, including ethics and concern for patients, and the target-income hypothesis. The target-income hypothesis can be rejected, although there is empirical support for non-profit maximizing behavior.

    ISBN: 9780444535924
    Content: This chapter reviews topics related to the demand for health insurance, including the question of how choice of health insurance should be structured for consumers. After the first section summarizes some of the institutional features of health insurance in high- and middle-income countries, a second section synthesizes the normative and empirical literature on demand-side cost sharing in health insurance, integrating new developments in multiple goods, consumer errors in valuing health care and “offset effects” with the traditional risk protection-appropriate incentives trade-off. The practice of selective contracting on the supply side is an alternative to demand-side cost sharing. A third section proposes a theory of selective contracting and relates this supply-side policy to the question of optimal demand-side cost sharing. We observe two distinct approaches to structuring choice of health insurance in the US, private employers who severely limit choice, and public payers’ (and individual insurance markets’) market-determined choices. A fourth section reviews the pluses and minuses of these alternatives, and discusses the implications for structuring health insurance markets in the US.

    ISBN: 9780444504715
    Content: This paper is concerned with the economics of mental health. We argue that mental health economics is like health economics only more so: uncertainty and variation in treatments are greater; the assumption of patient self-interested behavior is more dubious; response to financial incentives such as insurance is exacerbated; the social consequences and external costs of illness are more formidable. We elaborate on these statements and consider their implications throughout the chapter. “Special characteristics” of mental illness and persons with mental illness are identified and related to observations on institutions paying for and providing mental health services. We show that adverse selection and moral hazard appear to hit mental health markets with special force. We discuss the emergence of new institutions within managed care that address longstanding problems in the sector. Finally, we trace the shifting role of government in this sector of the health economy.
