Proximity to death and health care expenditure increase revisited : a 15-year panel analysis of elderly persons
Wyl, Viktor von - In: Health economics review 9 (2019) 9, pp. 1-16
Background: Health care expenditures (HCE) are known to steepen with increasing age, but the contributions of biological age, morbidity, or proximity to death as cost drivers are debated. Age-associated HCE growth can be studied across two dimensions: within fixed groups of persons with the same...

Looking into the black box of "medical progress" : rising health expenditures by illness type and age
Breyer, Friedrich; Lorenz, Normann; Pruckner, Gerald J.; … - 2021
There is agreement among health economists that on the whole medical innovation causes health care expenditures (HCE) to rise. This paper analyzes for which diagnoses and in which age groups HCE per patient have grown significantly faster than average HCE. We distinguish decedents (patients in...
