- Title
Physicians’ Labour Supply: The Wage Impact on Hours and Practice Combinations.
- Authors
Sæther, Erik Magnus
- Abstract
It is a stated aim to improve physician services in underserved sectors and areas. Increased wages is one instrument for boosting the hours provided by the personnel to the prioritized sub-markets. This study applies an econometric framework that allows for non-convex budget sets, non-linear labour supply curves and imperfect markets with institutional constraints. The labour supply decision is viewed as a choice from a set of discrete alternatives (job packages) in a structural labour supply model estimated on Norwegian micro data. An out-of-sample prediction is also presented and evaluated by means of a natural experiment.
