The association between per capita health … expenditure and relative performance indices reveals that there are states where relatively sound health infrastructure has not … ensured better performance in curing patients and those relatively weak have done better. But with a multi-dimensional health …

In this paper, we develop a life cycle model in which health and longevity are threatened by infectious and chronic … diseases. The model captures that the susceptibility and severity of infectious diseases depend on the accumulated health … deficits (immunosenescence) and that the life history of infections affects the accumulation of chronic health deficits …

socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes. We also explore the individual-specific effects of Long Covid. We develop and … calibrate a health economic model based on principles of the biology of human aging that captures the interaction between … infections and chronic health deficits. Our analysis suggests that neglecting this interaction leads to a gross underestimation …

states with more nursing homes per capita, in states with more COVID-19 deaths, and with more health workers. The subset of … health workers, including physicians and nurses, did not significantly impact administration or efficiency. On the other hand …, vaccination efficiency was lower in states with a centralized public health agency. States with a larger share of the elderly …

We find similar Value of Statistical Life estimates across the two studies, ranging from USD 930 …: individuals aged over 70 years hold WTP values approximately one-third lower than other respondents. Respondent health status has … affected population s age or health status. …

this paper we investigate whether an aggregate health production function can help to explain the annual time …-series behavior of U.S. longevity since 1960. We view longevity as the output of the health production function, and output … annual U.S. time-series data on life expectancy, health expenditure, and medical innovation. Reliable annual data are …

However, population sorting and other confounders make it difficult to disentangle the effects of place on … health from other geographic differences in life expectancy. Recent studies have overcome such challenges to demonstrate that …
