#EconJMP alert!

Can increasing public healthcare production reduce waiting times, address equity concerns, and curb private sector market power in a setting with congested public services and costly private alternatives? I find that it only partially addresses these issues. #EconSky #EconJobMarket

#EconSky newly updated paper! [Link at end of thread] The premise of this one is simple: what if IO tried to take inequality more seriously?
