Competition and physician behaviour: Does the competitive environment affect the propensity to issue sickness certicates?PhysiciansCompetitionSickness certicationCiências Sociais::Economia e GestãoCiências Sociais::Economia e GestãoJEL Classication: I11; I18; L13Competition among physicians is widespread, but compelling empirical evidence on the impact on service provision is limited, mainly due to lack of exogenous variation in the degree of competition. In this paper we exploit that many GPs, in addition to own practice, work in local emergency centres, where the matching of patients to GPs is random. This allows us to observe the same GP in two di⁄erent competitive environments; with competition (own practice) and without competition (emergency centre). Using rich administrative patientlevel data from Norway for 2006-14, which allow us to estimate high-dimensional xed-e⁄ect models to control for time-invariant patient and GP heterogeneity, we nd that GPs with a fee-for-service (xed salary) contract are 11 (8) percentage points more likely to certify sick leave at own practice than at the emergency centre. Thus, competition has a positive impact on GPssick listing that is reinforced by nancial incentives.OMPETE reference nº POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006683(UID/ECO/03182/2013) , with the FCT/MEC’s (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.) financial support through national funding and by the ERDF through the Operational Programm e on "Competitiveness and Internationalization – COMPETE 2020 under the PT2020 Partnership Agreement»info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionUniversidade do Minho.
