Worth the Wait? A General Equilibrium Framework for Physician Choice, Patient Reallocation, and Wait Times
Growing Out of Pediatric Care: The Institutional Frictions Disrupting Patient Transition [SYP]
Abstract. Transitions from pediatric to adult health care are crucial for maintaining continuity of care but are often delayed by structural barriers in the health care system. This paper examines how physician network structures influence these delays. I estimate a structural model that incorporates pediatric patient demand, adult provider service costs, and the matching process between patients and providers. This model provides a framework for evaluating the impact of counterfactual policies that modify physicians’ referral consideration sets to alleviate congestion and reduce transition wait times.
