Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions about the capabilities of health and social systems to control and contain infectious diseases have been reignited. In Resilient Managed Competition During Pandemics: Lessons from the Italian Experience, Costa-Font, Turatti and Levaggi ask whether or not institutional differences between the managed competition (MC) systems in three of Italy's regions may have affected their performance - and hence, population health outcomes - during the pandemic. Fuchs (2000) previously argued that institutional arrangements not only 'matter', but also sometimes 'matter a great deal' (p. 149, emphasis in original) and this may be particularly true in emergencies.
自 COVID-19 大流行爆发以来，关于卫生和社会系统控制和遏制传染病能力的讨论再次引发关注。在《大流行期间有韧性的管理竞争：意大利经验的教训》一文中，Costa-Font、Turatti 和 Levaggi 探讨了意大利三个地区的管理竞争（MC）系统之间的制度差异是否可能影响其在大流行期间的表现——进而影响人口健康结果。Fuchs（2000）曾指出，制度安排不仅“重要”，而且有时“非常重要”（第 149 页，原文重点），在紧急情况下尤其如此。
