Hospital costs in Catalonia: a stochastic frontier analysis

Adam Wagstaff and Guillem Lopez

Applied Economics Letters, 1996, vol. 3, issue 7, 471-474

Abstract: A multiproduct stochastic hospital cost frontier is estimated on panel data for 43 Catalan hospitals over the period 1988-91 on the assumption that inefficiency remains constant over time. In addition to reporting estimates of inefficiency, the paper reports estimates of economies of scope and economies of scale.
