Carnegie Mellon University E.J. Barone Chair in Health Systems Management and Professor of Economics and Public Policy Dr. Martin Gaynor will speak on "Physicians Incentives in HMOs," 2:30 to 4 p.m., Friday, April 2, room 245, The University of Texas at Arlington Business Building, 701 S. West St.

Gaynor's research on health care markets concentrates on the restructuring of health care markets and implications for antitrust policy, vertical restraints in health care, the industrial organization of the physician services market and the effects of information in health services markets. His research on the economics of heath care organizations is focused on the determinants of the internal organization of medical group practices, the effects of these arrangements on group performance and the determinants of hospital behavior and the consequent implications.

Gaynor was awarded the 1996 Kenneth J. Arrow Award for best article published worldwide on health economics and is a recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He is a former economics professor at UTA.

The Kuemmerlein Lectures are hosted by the UTA Economics Department and supported by the Kuemmerlein Fund. The lecture is free. For more information, call Michael Ward, (817) 272-3090.
