Demand for and Regulation of Cardiac Services

Trogdon, Justin G. - EconWPA - 2005

Efforts to regionalize cardiac services can increase access costs for patients. This study quantifies this trade off by estimating the effects of changes in the regulation of hospital services on treatments and outcomes. A demand model for surgery services is specified in which heart attack...

Sectoral Adjustment of Employment: The Impact of Outsourcing and Trade at the Micro Level

Egger, Peter; Pfaffermayr, Michael; Weber, Andrea - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003

This paper analyzes the effects of trade and outsourcing on the transition probabilities of employment between sectors, using a dynamic multinomial logit framework with fixed effects. The data contain individual Austrian male workers over the period 1988-2001. Our results strongly support the...

Learning Temporal Preferences

Miravete, Eugenio J; Palacios-Huerta, Ignacio - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002

We analyse households’ responses to an unanticipated change in consumption opportunities and evaluate their implications for the nature and formation of preferences. We study the tariff experiment conducted by South Central Bell where local telephone measured tariffs were introduced for the...

Health Insurance, Habits and Health Outcomes: A Dynamic Stochastic Model of Investment in Health

Khwaja, Ahmed W. - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2001

I develop a dynamic stochastic model of individual choices about health insurance, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption and medical treatment. The primary objective is to estimate the parameters of the model to conduct counter-factual health policy experiments. The model is estimated through...
