Additionally, the emphasis is mainly placed on supply-side determinants, while demand-side factors are neglected, particularly the relevance of the processes of structural change.
The findings of the current study also depict that the soft-side determinants are important in affecting the internationalization speed of EBSs.
If instead information was inversely correlated to distance from a HF, the lack of effect of supply-side determinants on the probability of seeking care could then be the reflection of lack of information.
Studies based on these two credit channels identify four supply-side determinants of bank credit: the macro-economy, monetary policy, credit to the public sector and bank characteristics ((Carey 1998); (Gozgor 2014); (Everaert et al. 2015); (Rabab'ah 2015)).
Further research should aim to generate a deeper understanding of the relative importance and interplay between demand and supply-side determinants of service use and between the various dimensions of health care need, access and quality.
Identifying the separate effects of supply and demand-side determinants of health care use may provide indications to policy makers about the most effective levers to increase access and encourage the use of services when needed.
Second, the lack of information on health status and illness type and seriousness prevents a deeper understanding of the magnitude and heterogeneity of the effect associated with both demand and supply-side determinants of health care use.
We integrate demand and supply-side determinants and factors from political economy into an empirical analysis of the highly decentralized Swiss health care system and control for major health care finance reforms.
These factors can be characterized as demand-side or supply-side determinants [ 17, 18].
