RESUMO

Our intention is to examine the common assumption that physician supply is related strongly to more direct measures of economic shortage. The concept of a medical shortage defined by untreated illness or excess rates of preventable illness is not considered here. We examine the more policy-specific issue of whether the present shortage areas include the most extreme areas, based on these indicators of market tightness. If supply is a poor predictor of shortage, then more direct measures or other more carefully targeted policies should be explored.
