spelling Hospital competition when patients learn through experienceHospital competitionexperience goodsforward-looking consumersexpectationsqualityNIPE 12.2022We study competing hospitals' incentives for quality provision in a dynamic setting where healthcare is an experience good. In our model, the utility a patient derives from choosing a particular provider depends on a subjective component specifi c to the match between the patient and the provider, which can only be learned through experience. We find that the experience-good nature of healthcare can either reinforce or dampen the demand responsiveness to quality and the hospitals' incentives for quality provision, depending on two key factors: (i) the shape of the distribution of match-specific utilities, and (ii) the cost relationship between quality provision and treatment volume. Our analysis helps identify and understand the conditions required for the market-based provision of healthcare to deliver improved quality.This paper is financed by National Funds of the FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) within the project UIDB/03182/2020.Universidade do Minho.
