3 Does Hospital Competition Lead to Performance Gain? Evidence from China Abstract: This paper identifies the impact of competition on quality and price in China s hospital industry. It uses differences in competition over time and across region to exploit the impact of competition in an environment with partly regulated price in which hospitals competed both on quality and price. Using both province-level (from 2002 to 2009) and individual level (from 2007 to 2010) data, we find a strongly positive relationship between competition and quality measures. We also find that completion reduced outpatient cost. Our results indicate that hospitals in competitive markets tended to improve quality and reduce price. Keywords: health care market, competition, health care, quality, price
