Can the expansion of Medicaid, a means-tested health and long-term care insurance, be slowed down by incentivising the purchase of private long-term care insurance (LTCI)? We study the implementation of the long-term care insurance partnership (LTCIP) program, a joint federal and state-level...

The political choice of social long term care transfers when family gives time and money
De Donder, Philippe; Leroux, Marie-Louise - 2015
We develop a model where families consist of one parent and one child, with children differing in income and all agents having the same probability of becoming dependent when old. Young and old individuals vote over the size of a social long term care transfer program, which children complement...

Long-term care and lazy rotten kids
Cremer, Helmuth; Roeder, Kerstin - 2013
This paper studies the determination of informal long-term care (family aid) to dependent elderly in a worst case scenario concerning the "harmony" of family relations. Children are purely selfish, and neither side can make credible commitments (which rules out efficient bargaining). The model...

Does the expansion of public long-term care funding affect savings behaviour?
Costa-Font, Joan; Vilaplana Prieto, Cristina - 2016
One of the most common reasons for people to save is in order to pay for their care in later life. However, the effect of long-term care subsidies on savings is far from clear. In this paper we take advantage of a policy intervention to study the effect on savings and savings behaviour of the...

Using fees to reduce bed-blocking : a game between hospitals and care providers
Kverndokk, Snorre; Melberg, Hans Olav - 2016
The Coordination Reform was introduced in Norway in 2012 including a fee for bed-blocking in hospitals. To study this, we introduce a Stackelberg game where the hospital is the leader and the care institution is the follower. The reform does not necessarily lead to less bed-blocking as this...
