This article presents an adaptation of the labour supply model applied to the independent medical sector. First, we model simultaneous General Practitioner (GP) decisions on both the leisure time and the consultation length for two payment schemes: fixed fees and unregulated fees. The objective of this econometric study is to validate the theoretical prediction that doctors under unregulated fees may make choices about the length of patient consultations independent of their personal leisure decision. Indeed, according to our empirical results, the bidirectional link between leisure choice and consultation length - verified with fixed fees - does not hold any longer under unregulated fees. Our findings can be seen as a necessary but not a sufficient condition to legitimize unregulated fees in general practice.View full textDownload full textKeywordswork-leisure trade-off, working time, consultation duration, general practitioners, simultaneous equationsJEL ClassificationC13, C31, I11, J22, J30Related var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00036846.2011.572858

机译：本文介绍了适用于独立医疗部门的劳动力供给模型的改编。首先，我们在休闲时间和咨询时间这两种付款方案的同时建模全科医生（GP）决策：固定费用和不受管制费用。这项计量经济学研究的目的是验证理论上的预测，即不受监管的费用下的医生可以根据其个人休闲决定而自行决定患者咨询的时间。的确，根据我们的经验结果，休闲选择和咨询时间之间的双向联系（通过固定费用进行了验证）在不受管制的费用下不再成立。我们的发现可以被视为使普通做法中的不受管制费用合法化的必要条件，但不是充分条件。查看全文下载全文关键词工作-休闲权衡，工作时间，咨询时间，全科医生，联立方程JEL分类C13，C31，I11，J22 ，J30Related var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，services_compact：“ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，delicious，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，more”，pubid：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00036846.2011.572858
