Plot of Cross Practice Quality Elasticities against Distance to Other Practice

Notes. Cross‐quality elasticity: % change in predicted number of patients in a practice resulting from a 1% increase in quality (total QOF points 2006/7) of a rival practice. Two practices are rivals if there is at least one LSOA choice set of which they are both members. Predictions are from the coefficients from the model in Table 2 applied to practices which draw at least 99% of their list from the East Midlands. The line is a loess regression of elasticity on distance.
