Essays on health economics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The chapters in this dissertation investigate how the design of public health insurance programs affects the behavior of individuals and whether absent the availability of formal insurance systems, individuals in a family act as informal insurance. The first chapter studies how Medicare and Medicaid -- the two largest public health insurance programs in the United States -- jointly shape patients' access to healthcare and healthcare spending. The second chapter examines how a major healthcare policy affected the working behavior of older populations. The third chapter characterizes the role of informal insurance channels within a family in mitigating the consequences of adverse health events on families.
