Abstract

HOSPITALs and their performance play a very important role in the health sector in any country. Their behavior is quite similar to other firms in the economy and they tend to act as cost minimizing firms, taking into account the health and social burden associated with their efficient performance. The main purpose of this paper is to estimate the COST FUNCTION and its determinants in selected Tehran HOSPITALs. A total of fourteen HOSPITALs are selected and data for relevant variables are gathered for a ten year period starting from 1992. The models and theoretic functions and empirical results in other countries are discussed thoroughly and the selected model was estimated using a panel data format. The results are compatible with theoretic basis and show that the relative cost of HOSPITALs over the period under study has a positive relationship with relative labor and capital prices. Different formats for cost estimation are also employed and the results are reported accordingly.
