Follow your heart : survival chances and costs after heart attacks ; an instrumental variable approach
Sanwald, Alice; Schober, Thomas - 2014
We analyze mortality and follow-up costs of heart attack patients using administrative data from Austria from 2002 … effect on 3-year mortality is -9.5 percentage points. A separation of the sample into subgroups shows the strongest effects … in relative terms for patients below the age of 65. We do not find significant effects on long-term inpatient costs and …

Selective-referral and unobserved patient heterogeneity : bias in the volume-outcome relationship ; conference paper
Hentschker, Corinna; Mennicken, Roman - 2014 - Preliminary
This paper examines the causal effect of volume on outcome on the example of patients with a hip fracture. We use an instrumental variable approach and consider both the practice-makes-perfect and selective-referral hypothesis as well as unobserved patient heterogeneity. Our results indicate...

This paper examines the causal effect of the experience of a hospital with treating hip fractures (volume) on treatment outcome for patients. A full sample of administrative data from Germany for the year 2007 is used. We apply an instrumental variable approach to eliminate endogeneity concerns...

The causal effects of education on adult health, mortality and income : evidence from Mendelian randomization and the raising of the school leaving age
Davies, Neil M.; Dickson, Matt; Smith, George Davey; … - 2019
We compare estimates of the effects of education on health and health behaviour using two different instrumental variables in the UK Biobank data. One is based on a conventional natural experiment while the other, known as Mendelian randomization (MR), is based on genetic variants. The natural...

Cost-sharing and use of health services in Italy : evidence from a fuzzy regression discontinuity design
Ponzo, Michela; Scoppa, Vincenzo - 2016
We use a Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) to evaluate the impact of cost-sharing on the use of health services. In the Italian health system, individuals reaching age 65 and earning low incomes are given total exemption from cost-sharing for health services consumption. Since the...
