卫生支出急剧增加已成为一个主要关切问题。本文使用丰富的面板数据集，通过调查决定德国住院需求的因素，为这场辩论做出了贡献。虽然大多数以前的研究发现，社会保险对医院旅行的需求有显着的影响，这里提出的实证结果对这些经济激励措施的作用表示怀疑。男性和女性的住院行为也存在重要差异，在全部样本和慢性病患者之间也存在重要差异，这些差异被文献所忽视。© 1997 John Wiley & Sons，Ltd.
The dramatically rising health expenditures have become a matter of prime concern. Using a rich panel dataset this paper contributes to this debate by investigating factors determining the demand for hospitalization in Germany. While most previous studies have found a significant impact of social insurance on the demand for hospital trips, the empirical results presented here cast doubts on the role of those economic incentives. There are also important differences in the hospitalization behaviour of men and women, and between the full sample and those with chronic conditions, which have been neglected by the literature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
