Our intention is to examine the common assumption that physician supply is related strongly to more direct measures of economic shortage. The concept of a medical shortage defined by untreated illness or excess rates of preventable illness is not considered here. We examine the more policy-specific issue of whether the present shortage areas include the most extreme areas, based on these indicators of market tightness. If supply is a poor predictor of shortage, then more direct measures or other more carefully targeted policies should be explored.
我们的目的是检验一种普遍的假设，即医生供应与更直接的经济短缺衡量指标密切相关。这里不考虑由未治疗的疾病或可预防疾病的高发病率所定义的医疗短缺概念。基于这些市场紧张程度指标，我们研究当前短缺地区是否包括最极端地区这一更具政策针对性的问题。如果供应不是短缺的良好预测指标，那么就应该探索更直接的措施或其他更有针对性的政策。
