Abstract

In this paper we investigate how the availability of selected services in individual hospitals is influenced by the number of neighbors who are potential or actual competitors. Hospitals offer a wide range of services, and some services may display a complementary pattern while others may contribute to a competitive medical arms race. We will examine the types of services that show these opposite patterns to analyze the dynamics that have characterized local hospital service decisions.
