摘要

美国医学专科委员会（ABMS）规定每十年进行一次认证维护（MOC）考试，以提高患者护理水平和医生技能，但一些州认为这既昂贵又繁琐，因此出台了反 MOC 法。我们利用各州交错通过反 MOC 法的机会，发现在有反 MOC 法的州，60 岁以上的老年医师每半年会增加 1.4-1.9 个百分点，而对 60 岁以下的年轻医师则没有影响。我们的研究表明，反机会均等法改善了老年医生的供应。

Anti-Maintenance of Certification laws and older physician supply

The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) mandates Maintenance of Certification (MOC) exams every ten years to improve patient care and physician skills, but some states consider it expensive and burdensome and have introduced anti-MOC laws. We exploited state-level staggered adoption of anti-MOC laws and found an additional 1.4–1.9 percentage point biannual increase in older physicians aged 60+ in states with anti-MOC laws, with no effect on younger physicians under 60. Our study suggests that anti-MOC laws improve the supply of older physicians.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
