We study the impact of health insurance expansion in the US on health expenditure, longevity growth and welfare in an overlapping generations economy in which individuals purchase health care to lower mortality. We consider three sectors: final goods production; a health care sector, selling...

We study the role of health care within a continuous time economy of overlapping generations subject to endogenous mortality. The economy consists of two sectors: final goods production and a health care sector, selling medical services to individuals. Individuals demand health care with a view...

We study medical progress within an economy of overlapping generations subject to endogenous mortality. We characterize the individual optimum and the general equilibrium of the economy and study the impact of improvements in the effectiveness of health care. We find that general equilibrium...

Health workforce planning aims to achieve a proper balance between the supply and demand for different categories of health workers, in both the short and longer-term. Workforce planning in the health sector is particularly important, given the time and cost involved in training new doctors and...

We study the role of health care within a continuous time economy of overlapping generations subject to endogenous mortality. The economy consists of two sectors: final goods production and a health care sector, selling medical services to individuals. Individuals demand health care with a view...

The aim of this research is to develop a model to forecast short term health cost changes. The motivation for producing such a model is to provide local decision makers with a tool to predict short term health care costs in their localities. In order to achieve this objective, we collected data...

I give a brief summary of the institutional details of the U.S. healthcare sector with a special emphasis on healthcare finance. In addition to its large size, U.S. healthcare has four unique features that can be used to help answer corporate finance questions: segmented markets, variation in...

In this paper we investigate the evolution of public European LTC systems in the forthcoming decades, using the Europe Future Elderly Model (EuFEM), a dynamic microsimulation model which projects the health and socio-economic characteristics of the 50 population of ten European countries,...

The paper compares fertility outcomes between women enrolled in HIV clinics and the DHS sample which were both administered in Yaoundé contemporaneously. Using propensity score matching, I show that fertility outcomes are contingent on age at which women are detected HIV positive. Younger women...

We estimate a Bayesian model of nursing home quality using variational inference. We then conduct three exercises. First, we examine the correlates of quality, finding that public report cards have near-zero correlation. Second, we show that higher quality nursing homes fared better during the...
