1 What do locational factors contribute to the explanation of regional variation in officebased physicians? WIC Verena Vogt 1, Leonie Sundmacher 2 1 Department of Health Care Management, Technische Universität Berlin 2 Department of Health Services Management, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich
2 Background The regional distribution of physicians is a persistent policy concern in many health care systems There are a number of public policies that aim aimed at attracting physicians to high need regions and discourage physicians from locating in over-supplied areas Despite the total number of physicians increased, there are significant inequalities in the regional distribution of physicians There is considerable literature showing that the regional distribution of officebased physicians is not only explained by varying health care needs of the population It is also determined by factors such as employment opportunities for spouses, quality of education or the financial attractiveness of a region 2
3 Key factors in physicians choice of practice location Individual characteristics(u.a. Daniels et al. 2007; Dussault et al. 2012) Age at graduation Sex Education Professional factors (u.a. Bildeau & Leduc 2003) Specialisation Working hours Regional factors (u.a. Van Lerberghe et al. 2003; Kazanjian et al. 1996) Conditions of employment (also for spouses) Economic incentives (income potential) Quality of school education Cultural factors Need (morbidity, population with PHI) It remains unclear, however, how much of the variation in physician density is explained by each of these determinants. 3
4 Objectives The aim of this analysis is twofold: 1. Quantifying regional variation in physician density in Germany 2. Decompose this variation into the contribution of each determinant to the measured variation 4
5 Method 1. Regional variation in physician density is quantified using the GINI-Index: k 1 G = 1 (Y i+1 +Y i )(X i+1 X i ) i=0 2. The relative importance of the explanatory variables is estimated using regression based decomposition Based on a linear regression model Variable selection: backward elimination (AIC) 5

16 Regression-based decomposition The variance of Y of a standard regression equation can be decomposed as Y = β 0 + K K K=1 X β k + ε var Y = cov[x k β k, Y] + cov[ε, Y] k=1 Or, upon dividing through by var(y) 100% = K k=1 cov[x k β k, Y] + cov[ε, Y] var(y) K = k=1 s X k + s(ε ) 16
17 Regressions-basierte Dekomposition Where each s-weight is given by s X k = cov[xk β k,y] var(y) The weight associated with the residual is given by s ε = cov[ε,y] var(y) The s-weights K k=1 s X k sum exactly to R² Expressing the s X k in terms of their percentage contribution to R² provides the p-weights p X k = s(xk ) R 2 such that the p Xk `s sum to 100% Vgl.
