Identifying age-cohort-time effects, their curvature and interactions from polynomials : examples related to sickness absence
Biørn, Erik - 2013
In the paper is considered identification of coefficients in equations explaining a continuous variable, say the number of sickness absence days of an individual per year, by cohort, time and age, subject to their definitional identity. Extensions of a linear equation to polynomials, including...

Efficiency Measurement Using Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) Data and the Evaluation of Hospital Functions
Kawaguchi, Hiroyuki; Matsuda, Shinya; Hashimoto, Hideki - 2011
We used Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data to capture more detailed outputs and measured hospital efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). We weighted the number of patients (outputs) by relative coefficients obtained from DPC data. Since previous studies conducted in Japan...

Optimal Social Distancing and the Economics of Uncertain Vaccine Arrival
Peri, Alessandro; Iverson, Terrence; Karp, Larry S. - 2021
Beliefs about the arrival time of a vaccine have a large effect on optimal social distancing in an SIR model, though the relationship is complex. A higher mean vaccine arrival time can increase or decrease optimal distancing depending on assumptions. We analytically demonstrate two channels that...
