The analysis in this paper extends the existing research on supplier-inducement by introducing a fixed price constraint on supplier behaviour and analysing output by treatment episode. Testable predictions are generated which distinguish between the inducement and traditional approaches to explaining supplier behaviour. Using data on dental care provision under the U.K. National Health Service support is found for the presence of supplier-inducement. The implications of the findings for the organisation of dental care in the U.K. are considered.
本文的分析通过对供应商行为引入固定价格约束并按治疗阶段分析产出，扩展了关于供应商诱导的现有研究。得出了可检验的预测，这些预测区分了用于解释供应商行为的诱导方法和传统方法。利用英国国民医疗服务体系下的牙科护理提供数据，发现了供应商诱导行为的存在。文中还考虑了这些发现对英国牙科护理组织的影响。
