We model the mortality behavior of the general population in Mexico using data from 1990 to 2009 and compare it to the mortality assumed in the tables used in Mexico for insured lives. We fi a Lee-Carter model, a Renshaw-Haberman model and an Age-Period-Cohort model. The data used are drawn from...

This paper aims to analyze the effects of individual socioeconomic characteristics on the mortality risk of Covid-19. Two datasets were combined to achieve this objective: the individual health records from people infected with coronavirus in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, and the...

Recentered influence functions (RIFs) are statistical tools popularized by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2009) for analyzing unconditional partial effects on quantiles in a regression analysis framework (unconditional quantile regressions). The flexibility and simplicity of these tools has opened...

The examination of the causal impact of health insurance coverage on healthcare utilisation is a critical endeavour in both academic research and policy formulation. However, this endeavour faces challenges, notably the endogenous selection into coverage and prevalent misreporting of coverage...

Healthcare spending (total) in the United States (US) is the highest in the world. As state governments are a vital driver of healthcare implementation and as healthcare policy responses in containing healthcare expenses vary among states based on the underlying state-level factors, it is...
