Two-thirds of general practitioners say they have to refuse new patients as their preferred doctor

Expertise
Only in French | In this study published by DREES, Bérengère Davin-Casalena and her co-authors, including Bruno Ventelou (AMU/CNRS/AMSE), take stock of general practitioners' perceptions of the supply of general medicine in their area, and of changes in practices and conditions of practice. Here, we look at how GPs are adapting their practices to cope with the decline in medical demographics, for example, by taking on new patients as GPs.

In theory, the solution is straightforward: we must stop burning fossil fuels. In practice, phasing out energy sources so firmly entrenched in contemporary societies is an immense challenge. To reduce CO₂ emissions, economists — trained in cost–benefit analysis — can help policymakers design strategies that are both effective and socially acceptable.
