DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Measuring Physician Quality: Evidence from Physician Availability\nAbstract
 :\nMeasuring physician quality is fundamental to understanding healthcare p
 roductivity, yet attempts to estimate the types of physicians that improve 
 survival can be confounded due to patient sorting. This paper aims to overc
 ome this endogeneity problem by exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in
  the mix of physicians available to treat the patient on the particular dat
 e of an inpatient admission. One innovation is the use of 100% Medicare cla
 ims data to characterize the mix of physicians available including specialt
 y training, medical school quality rankings, patient volume, sex, and years
  of experience. When heart failure patients enter the hospital when more ca
 rdiologists are available, patients receive more intensive treatments and a
 re more likely to survive at one year. The results speak to the debate over
  the value of treatment intensity and specialists in particular.\n
