Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of medical and consumer interests on the choice of physician licensing requirements in the United States. Using data on licensing requirements in the fifty states between 1986 and 1993, we find that, in general, public members on licensing boards are associated with licensing requirements that have educational justification. In contrast, medical interests, measured in terms of licensing board independence and campaign contributions by medical associations, are associated with licensing requirements that are more difficult to justify with educational criteria.
