 note = {https://www.grips.ac.jp/list/jp/facultyinfo/chen-stacey/profile-s-chen/, This study examines the agency problems by estimating the informational and relational effects of physician-patients on their invasive end-of-life treatment. To address potential issues of patient selection, we compare treatment intensity between physician- versus nonphysician-patients attended by the same doctor in the same hospital, and control for patients’ previous choices of doctors. To identify the relational effect, we further compare the impacts of physician-patients specializing in the same area as their attending doctors versus those in different areas. Physician-patients receive more care than comparable nonphysician-patients, and the increased volume results mostly from physician-patients’ relational advantages, not from their information advantages., JEL Classification Codes: D83, I11, J44, The study received institutional review board approval from the Academia Sinica on Use of Humans as Experimental Subjects, AS-IRB-BM-13081 v5. We acknowledge funding from the JSPS Kakenhi Grant Number JP 17H02537 and the Academia Sinica Career Award.},
