Throwing foreign aid at HIV/AIDS in developing countries : missing the target?
Nunnenkamp, Peter; Öhler, Hannes - 2010
We assess empirically whether foreign official development assistance (ODA) has been effective in alleviating HIV/AIDS epidemics, which figures prominently among the Millennium Development Goals. We employ a difference-in-difference-in-differences approach to identify the treatment effect of ODA...

Health care expenditures and longevity : is there a Eubie Blake effect?
Breyer, Friedrich; Lorenz, Normann; Niebel, Thomas - 2012
due to the fact that mortality rises with age and a large share of HCE is caused by proximity to death. As a consequence …, rising longevity - through falling mortality rates - may even reduce HCE. However, a weakness of previous empirical studies … over the period 1997-2009. Using (dynamic) panel data models, we find that age, mortality and five-year survival rates have …

Using panel econometric methods to estimate the effect of milk consumption on the mortality rate of prostate and ovarian cancer
Hagen, Tobias; Waldeck, Stefanie - 2014

The results indicate fairly well that milk consumption increases both the mortality rate of prostate cancer … as well as the mortality rate of ovarian cancer.

Using Country-Level Data and Panel Econometric Methods to Estimate the Effect of Population Average Milk Consumption on Prostate and Ovarian Cancer Mortality Rates
Hagen, Tobias - 2016

We estimate whether a change in milk consumption … within up to 50 countries is associated with a change in mortality rates over the period 1990 to 2008, after controlling for …
