The stochastic determinants of hospital-bed supply

The stochastic determinants of hospital-bed supply

This paper uses a general queuing-theoretic model to derive more appropriate measures of hospital quality, such as turn-away probabilities and patient's expected waiting time, than have been used in recent empirical work [e.g., Joskow (1980)].
