Patients' migration across regions: the case of Italy

Rosella Levaggi and Roberto Zanola

Applied Economics, 2004, vol. 36, issue 16, 1751-1757

Abstract: This article analyses patient mobility across Italian regions. A modified gravity model of patient migration is specified and estimated using panel observations covering mobility and other main regional quality indicators over the period 1994-1997. Despite the high level of aggregation due to data constraints, the empirical findings show that in Italy there is wide scope for quality-driven mobility while income determines the quality of the service offered.
