摘要：
In this paper we look at the Italian National Health System as a case study, in order to investigate whether competition exerts positive effects on the efficiency of hospitals. Using the DEA technique we measure the efficiency of Italian hospital production; secondly, we take a regression analysis approach to analyse its determinants. A general conclusion stemming out of the analysis is that competition is not a value per se and that its effects on hospitals' performance are affected by the rules governing the health system.
