Abstract: In this Appendix, section B.1 discusses the external validity of our results. Section B.2 describes the types of insurance plans represented in our MarketScan sample, and section B.3 presents details on relative public and private prices in the cross-section. Section B.4 describes the construction of some control variables, and then section B.5 goes into further detail on our construction of HHI measures. Finally, section B.6 introduces an additional data source, the Community Tracking Study (CTS). CTS data allow us to examine directly welfare-relevant outcomes involving physicians’ behavior and choice of specialty.
