  摘要:We analyze the geographic patterns of online medical consultations using transactions data from Haodf.com, which is one of the leading third-party online healthcare platforms in China. We find that distance continues to have a negative impact on the intensity of online medical consultations, though the magnitude of the impact is significantly smaller than that on offline inpatient services. We also find a very strong “home bias” for consulting doctors located in the same prefecture and in the same province, suggesting the existence of an “attraction field” where the intensity of online medical consultation is much greater on the inside. Further analyses show that in-person doctor visits for further examinations and treatments after the online consultation and the trust issue on the Internet may be the main reasons behind the distance effect and “home bias”.
