Occupational Licensing in Health Care

Abstract

Occupational licensing creates a regulatory barrier to entry into licensed occupations, and thus results in higher income for those with permission to work. The empirical literature indicates that licensing generally restricts supply, and raises wages along with prices in health care professions. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that licensing improves the quality of care.
