使用COX比例风险模型对初次调查时居住在社区的一组残疾老年人在34个月期间首次进入养老院的条件概率的经济决定因素进行了估计。考虑到与第一次进入和调查结束时竞争的死亡审查产生了以下结果。财富极大地降低了进入养老院的风险。养老院进入风险的价格弹性估计为-0.7。此外，进入养老院与家庭面临的非正式照顾者时间的机会成本呈正相关。
A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate economic determinants of the conditional probability of first nursing home entry during a 34-month period for a panel of disabled older persons who resided in the community at the initial survey. Allowing for death that competes with first entry and end-of-survey censoring produced the following results. Wealth significantly reduces the hazard of nursing home entry. The price elasticity of the hazard of nursing home entry is estimated to be -0.7. Also, nursing home entry is positively related to the opportunity cost of informal caregiver time faced by the family.
