"Using implicit expected utility theory, a money metric of utility derived from playing a lottery game is developed. Output of the lottery sector can be defined as the difference in utility with and without the game. Using a kinked parametric functional form, outputs of the Canadian Lotto 6/49...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the Canadian health care system from a national and provincial perspective in terms of waiting time. A two-stage data envelopment analysis is applied to examine the quantitative and expenditure efficiency of the health care system with...

Current cost-based approach in measuring health care output does not allow decomposition of health care expenditure into price and output components. In this paper we propose an episode-based direction measurement method which closely resembles the concept of output in the system of national...
