Abstract

A simple model of physician migration predicts a positive relationship between physician fees and the number of physicians in an area and a negative relationship between physician fees and area population-physician ratios. The strong empirical support for this model suggests that Government health insurance programs could be used to encourage physicians to locate in scarcity areas.
