Does Competition Kill? Hospital Quality and Competition
We seek to estimate the effects of competition for both Medicare and HMO patients on the quality decisions of hospitals in Southern California. We find that increases in the degree of competition for HMO patients decrease risk-adjusted hospital mortality rates. Conversely, increases in competition for Medicare enrollees are associated with increases in risk-adjusted mortality rates for hospital...

متن کاملTruthful Secretaries with Budgets
We study online auction settings in which agents arrive and depart dynamically in a random (secretary) order, and each agent’s private type consists of the agent’s arrival and departure times, value and budget. We consider multi-unit auctions with additive agents for the allocation of both divisible and indivisible items. For both settings, we devise truthful mechanisms that give a constant app...
متن کاملCombinatorial Auctions with Budgets
We consider budget constrained combinatorial auctions where bidder i has a private value vi for each of the items in some set Si, agent i also has a budget constraint bi. The value to agent i of a set of items R is |R ∩ Si| · vi. Such auctions capture adword auctions, where advertisers offer a bid for those adwords that (hopefully) reach their target audience, and advertisers also have budgets....
متن کاملProviding Seamless Mobility with Competition based Soft Handover Management
As host mobility and radio interference in wireless networks cause packet losses and delays, it is difficult to develop useful mobile real-time media applications. This paper describes a new handover strategy for end-to-end mobility called Competition based Soft Handover Management (CSHM). During a handover, redundant packet streams are sent through multiple connections which are later merged i...
