The impact of wage structure and ability on the incentives for practitioners to engage in primary care in China: a mathematical analysis based on the incentive mechanism of heterog... by Yuxun Zhou, Ren Long, Xiaoyun Liu

“…Subsequently, we utilize tripartite evolutionary games to analyze the dynamic process of participation strategies to the primary health care with high—and less experienced practitioners.FindingsOur study yields four main findings: (1) Under an effective separating equilibrium, high-quality practitioners receive information rent, and there is no distortion at the top, while less experienced practitioners face allocation distortion. (2) When the performance risk of less experienced practitioners is greater than or equal to that of high-quality practitioners, reducing the performance risk of less experienced practitioners is an effective method of increasing their performance wage. …”
