This paper examines the resource mismatch in China's healthcare sector from 2010 to 2019. We use structural efficiency to measure the resource mismatch in the healthcare industry (0.2-0.7). We find that an increase in the proportion of private hospitals decreases the healthcare resource mismatch across provincial regions. This ameliorative effect is evident in non-coastal as well as central provinces. In addition, we also find that an increase in the proportion of private hospitals leads to a greater supply of healthcare resources and the number of healthcare services, which in turn better meets the healthcare needs of local residents and decreases the healthcare resource mismatch between regions in each province.
本文考察了2010年至2019年中国医疗行业的资源错配情况。我们用结构效率来衡量医疗行业的资源错配程度（0.2 - 0.7）。我们发现，私立医院比例的增加会减少省级区域间的医疗资源错配。这种改善作用在非沿海省份以及中部省份都很明显。此外，我们还发现，私立医院比例的增加会带来更多的医疗资源供应和医疗服务数量，进而更好地满足当地居民的医疗需求，并减少各省区域间的医疗资源错配。
