“…This result may be due to lack of competition, decision making, immediate feedback about work performance, and existence of conflict. Barros and et al, (2015) asserted that, the role of competition among health care providers as an instrument to improve efficiency in the use of health system resources. This study finding is congruent with Kotter (2015)who concluded that, unmotivated employees become terribly frustrated in their effort to succeed.…”

“…When it comes to assessing the nature and effects of competition on the performance of the healthcare sector, the dimensions of 'performance' need to be defined first, something that is missing from the recent contribution by [1].

The present paper provides first empirical evidence on the relationship between market size and the number of firms in the healthcare industry for a transition economy. We estimate market-size thresholds required to support different numbers of suppliers (firms) for three occupations in the healthcare industry in a large number of distinct geographic markets in Slovakia, taking into account the spatial interaction between local markets. The empirical analysis is carried out for three time periods (1995, 2001 and 2010) which characterise different stages of the transition process. Our results suggest that the relationship between market size and the number of firms differs both across industries and across periods. In particular, we find that pharmacies, as the only completely liberalised market in our dataset, experience the largest change in competitive behaviour during the transition process. Furthermore, we find evidence for correlation in entry decisions across administrative borders, suggesting that future market analysis should aim to capture these regional effects.
