The impact of demographic change, co-morbidity and European care policies on the choice of care arrangement

The effects of shortening potential benefit duration : evidence from regional cut-offs and a policy reform
Gałecka-Burdziak, Ewa; Góra, Marek; Jessen, Jonas; … - 2021
We quantify labour market effects of changes in the potential benefit duration (PBD) in Poland. Individual workers' PBD depends on the county unemployment rate relative to the national average - 12 months of PBD above a cut-off of 125 per cent and 6 months below. This cut-off shifted from 125 to...

Do red herrings swim in circles? : controlling for the endogeneity of time to death
Felder, Stefan (contributor); Werblow, Andreas (contributor) - 2008
Studies on the effect of ageing on health care expenditures (HCE) have revealed the importance of controlling for time-to-death (TTD). These studies, however, are subject to possible endogeneity if HCE influences remaining life expectancy. This paper introduces a ten year observational period on...
