Essays in applied microeconometrics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This subject of this dissertation is applied microeconometrics. Chapter 1 estimates the effect of physician incentives on treatment choices in heart attack management. Our results suggest that if physicians received bundled payments instead of fee-for-service incentives, heart attack management would become considerably more conservative, and about 20 percent of patients would receive different treatments. Chapter 2 studies the effect of Medicaid on health expenditures. At age 19, some enrollees lose Medicaid eligibility. We find that this quasi-experimental loss of coverage causes substantial changes to the level and composition of health care use. Average health expenditure falls by around 60 percent. Chapter 3 compares set-asides and subsidies in government procurement auctions. Restricting entry appears to substantially reduces efficiency and revenue, although it increases participation of favored bidders.
