Selection and Improvement: Physician Responses to Financial IncentivesJason Barro, Nancy Beaulieu
NBER Working Paper No. 10017 In this study we examine the effects of transferring physicians from a compensation system based on salary to a profit-sharing system. Consistent with theory, we find that the change has a large and significant effect on the quantity of services provided. In addition, we find a selection effect, where the least productive doctors leave the company and more productive doctors join.
