Healthcare: how competition can improve management quality and save lives

Nicholas Bloom and John van Reenen

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

This means that for near random reasons, those parts of the country have more competition in healthcare - which has allowed Nicholas Bloom and John Van Reenen to assess its impact on management quality and clinical performance.
