Analysis of productivity in the Health Care Centers of the Community of Madrid (Spain) 2015 - 2017

Artikel

The main objective of this work has focused on extending the existing literature on the analysis of total factor productivity of the Health Care Centers (HCC) of the Community of Madrid (Spain) in the period 2015-2017, with two important contributions; the application and comparison of the Malmquist indices with two robust methodologies such as the Hicks-Moorsteen and Färe Primont indices which, except for error, have not been previously used in this sector and the regional scope, which has been scarcely analyzed. The main results reveal decreases in HC productivity due to the three proposed methodologies. These decreases range between 4.90% and 0.25% for the Färe-Primont and Hicks-Moorsteen indices respectively between 2015/17 in average terms. Convergence analyses confirm that this takes place in the case of the Malmquist and Hicks-Moorsteen proposals.
