“…As a large proportion of patients incurred no relevant hospitalization costs and the costs conditional to (c i >0) displayed a skewed distribution, a 2-part model was used to model separately (1) the probability by guest on May 13, 2018 http://stroke.ahajournals.org/ Downloaded from of incurring any hospitalization costs and (2) the level of costs of those with positive costs. 17,18 The conditional expectation of the cost was divided into 2 parts:…”

Background and Purpose-Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared adverse event with oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation. The health economic aspects of resuming oral anticoagulant therapy after ICH are unknown. The aim was to estimate hospitalization costs of thromboembolism and hemorrhage subsequent to ICH in 2 patient groups with atrial fibrillation surviving the first 90 days post ICH: (1) patients resuming warfarin therapy within 90 days post ICH and (2) patients discontinuing therapy. Methods-Retrospective data from Danish national registries were linked to identify patients with atrial fibrillation who suffered an ICH between January 1, 1997, and April 1, 2011. Study start was 90 days after incident ICH. Mortality was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimate. Occurrence of hospitalization-requiring thromboembolism and hemorrhage was used to estimate hospitalization costs by linkage of International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes to Danish Diagnosis-Related Group tariffs. The effect of resuming warfarin therapy on average 3-year hospitalization costs was estimated by regression analysis adjusted for between-group differences in baseline characteristics. Results-In the inclusion period, 2162 patients had an ICH; 1098 survived the first 90 days and were included for analysis, and of those, 267 resumed warfarin therapy. Therapy resumption reduced the mean 3-year hospitalization cost of hospitalized patients significantly by US$ 1588 (95% confidence interval, −2925 to −251) and was significantly correlated with fewer hospitalization days per hospitalized patient (−4.6 [95% confidence interval, −7.6 to −1.6]). The marginal effect of therapy resumption on hospitalization costs per patient was US$ −407 (95% confidence interval, −815 to 2). Conclusions-Resuming warfarin therapy within 90 days after ICH in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with a decrease in average hospitalization costs. (Stroke. 2016;47:979-985.

“…The expected inverted L-shape of the empirical distribution function is found in our sample (Tubeuf and Perronnin, 2008;Jones et al, 2013). This shape reflects that there is a long lefthand tail which represents relatively few individuals in very bad health and many people concentrated in the right-hand tail.…”

Measurement and determinants of health poverty and richness: evidence from Portugal

et al. 2015

The analysis of health inequalities is a critical topic for health policy. With data for Portugal, we propose an algorithm to convert information provided by the official National Health Survey to EuroQol. Based on these data we make two contributions. First, we extend measures and methods commonly applied in other fields of economic research in order to quantify the phenomena of health poverty, richness, and inequality. Second, using an ordered probit model, we evaluate the determinants of health inequalities in Portugal. The results show that there is a remarkable level of health inequality, with significant rates of poverty (11.64%) and richness (22.64%). The econometric study reveals that gender, age, education, region of residence, and eating habits are among the most critical determinant factors of health.

“…Moreover, Beatty et al (2010) estimate an endogenous switching regression model using withinestablishment means in the selection and the regime equations to exploit the panel structure of their data. Finally, the Mundlak approach or the related Chamberlain-Mundlak approach, controlling for correlated fixed effects, has recently been used, e.g., in Jones et al (2007), Abdulai and Tietje (2007), and Fitzenberger et al (2011).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractUsing a microeconomic model and data from the Establishment Panel of the German Institute for Employment Research, we analyze the optimal establishment size against the background of rent-seeking workers and the influence of works councils. The theoretical part shows that establishment size has a discouragement effect on the level of individual rent seeking but also a quantity effect as the number of rent seekers increases. The interplay of both effects -together with technological considerations -determines whether the employer chooses an inefficiently small or large establishment size. Introduction of a works council restores efficient establishment size although it is purely used as rent-seeking device. Whether the employer benefits from a works council or not, depends on the degree of contract incompleteness and the degree of worker coordination via a works council. The empirical part indicates dominance of the discouragement effect over the quantity effect in establishments without works council. As theoretically predicted, works councils are beneficial by disentangling rent-seeking and production issues, thus eliminating the influence of the two rent-seeking effects.
