The practice pattern of 116 general practitioners in 60 rural municipalities in Northern Norway was studied with respect to length of consultation, the weekly number of consultations and the ...proportion of return visits. The average length of consultation was 14 mins, and only slightly lower for fee-for-service (FFS) doctors (13.7) than for salaried ones (14.8). The weekly average number of surgery consultations was higher for FFS doctors than for the salaried (63 vs 49), but the weekly number of hours spent consulting and the proportion of return visits were about the same. Further, the characteristics of the health care system (doctor density and doctor turnover) were associated with variations in the doctors' use of time. The most consistent effects, even if weak, were the age and sex of the patients. The strongest effects on the length of consultation were referrals and various medical procedures. This suggests that in this instance the medical condition at hand would appear to have a greater influence on the doctors' use of time than either the remuneration system or other characteristics of the health care system. Although the association between the doctors' use of time and the type of remuneration was weak, the study indicates that the type of remuneration does matter. Consequently, financial incentives can be used to influence the practice pattern of GPs.

There is a broad theoretical end empirical economic literature discussing the effects of termination charges on competition and retail prices. Most of this literature has focused on the ...telecommunications markets. Termination charges in the international parcel market have not yet received much attention in the economic literature. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap and to analyze the economics of termination charges for parcels.

In january 1949, the People’s Liberation Army (hereafter, PLA) took over Beiping. Within a few weeks, book vendors across the city were flooded with titles on communism, such as the Chinese ...translation of The Communist Manifesto and Mao Zedong’s Xin minzhu zhuyi lun (On new democracy).

Using a typical national standard form of contract increases the risk for the adherent party who is not familiar with it. Moreover, using it in a translated version will result in additional risk due ...to linguistic misunderstandings and conceptual differences. Finland is a good example for this risk which is inherent with the use of unknown standard terms. In Finland, the use of standardised contract terms is prevalent in many industries, and invitations to tender usually refer to such terms. Such terms are often substantially different from each other in their material content. For example, the KSE terms (General Conditions for Consulting) for planning and consulting, which have been jointly drawn up and ratified by the Finnish Association of Building Owners and Construction Clients, the Finnish Association of Consulting Firms SKOL and the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA stipulate that total liability of the provider may not exceed the total contract price while, on the other hand, the YSE terms (abbreviation for: Finnish general conditions for construction projects) provide for unlimited liability even for consequential damages. According to KSE terms the consultant’s total price includes the following items: remuneration, special compensation and expenses. The total remuneration for the assignment or different parts thereof may be based on the following remuneration systems: percent-based remuneration, lump-sum remuneration, unit-based remuneration, time-work remuneration by group of persons, time-work remuneration based on consultant’s own costs and other agreed remunerations.
