MODELING INTERREGIONAL PATIENT MOBILITY: THEORY AND EVIDENCE FROM SPATIALLY EXPLICIT DATA
International Economic Review, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 1493-1532, November 2023., 2023 Abstract This article provides theory and evidence on the spatial determinants of regional patient flows. We develop a theoretical model that explains a patient's choice to consult a general practitioner by a measure of spatial accessibility. We empirically test this gravity‐type model using regional patient flows and detailed data on the spatial ...
