Abstract
ⶠWe model two hospitals which have regulated prices and compete on quality. ⶠWe examine changes in the level of information about hospital quality. ⶠIncreasing information will increase quality if hospital costs are similar. ⶠIncreasing information will decrease quality if hospital costs are very different. ⶠWelfare effects depend on ex-ante or ex-post assumptions about quality information.
