The response to dynamic incentives in insurance contracts with a deductible : evidence from a differences-in-regression-discontinuities design

Klein, Tobias J.; Salm, Martin; Upadhyay, Suraj - 2020

We develop a new approach to quantify how patients respond to dynamic incentives in health insurance contracts with a deductible. Our approach exploits two sources of variation in a differences-in-regression-discontinuities design: deductible contracts reset at the beginning of the year, and...
