This paper provides new identification results for panel data models with contextual and endogenous peer effects, respectively operating through individual heterogeneity and outcomes. The results apply for general network structures governing peer interactions, and hinge on a conditional mean...

Indirect psychological effects induced by crime are likely to contribute significantly to the total costs of crime beyond the financial costs of direct victimization. Using detailed crime statistics for the whole of Germany and linking them to individual-level mental health information from the...

We consider panel parametric, semi-parametric and nonparametric methods of constructing counterfactuals. We show through extensive simulations that no method is able to dominate other methods in all circumstances. Since the true data generating process is typically unknown. We therefore also...

The design of incentive schemes that improve quality of care is a central issue for the healthcare sector. Nowadays we observe many pay-for-performance programs, where payment is contingent on meeting indicators of provider effort, but also other alternative strategies have been introduced, for...

We study the differential impacts of public and private sources of health spending on health outcomes using a triple difference approach. We find that private health spending has on average a higher health-promoting effect than public health spending. This result is robust with respect to the...

This paper describes the weighting methodology for the second wave of the Living in Germany - Nationwide Corona Monitoring study (RKI-SOEP2). Information from the larger, ongoing German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study from which the households are sampled is used to analyze the determinants of...

Panel data and Hsiao's version of Granger non-causality tests are used to revisit the relationship between GDP and aggregate health care spending, their growth rate series and de-trended series. The possible causality is assumed to be valid in either or in both directions. For the sample of 34...

Procedural failures of physicians or teams in interventional healthcare may positively or negatively predict subsequent patient outcomes. We identify this effect by applying (non-)linear dynamic panel methods to data from the Belgian Transcatheter Aorta Valve Implantation (TAVI) registry...
