This paper explores the effect of variations in the volume of health care and in certain characteristics of health systems on mortality across 21 OECD countries over the past 25 years, after controlling for certain other determinants of health status. It also uses a range of summary measures of mortality to assess the performance of health care systems and incorporates a number of judgmental variables to capture some basis characteristics of health care financing.
