How far does regulation determine how for-profit welfare services operate?

Abstract:: What can social services in Denmark teach us about the limits of market regulation? Commercial firms now provide social care in many countries. But does the way they operate differ depending on how they are regulated? Anders Bach-Mortensen, Benjamin Goodair, Ole Helby Petersen and Jon Kvist discuss the welfare markets in England and Denmark and find striking similarities even under quite different regimes.
