我们研究了社会健康保险对死亡率的影响。使用强制性医疗保险在德意志帝国在1884年作为一个自然的实验,我们估计差异和区域固定效应模型利用不同职业的保险资格的变化。我们的研究结果表明,俾斯麦的健康保险产生了显着的死亡率降低。尽管没有抗生素和大多数疫苗,我们发现结果在很大程度上是由传染病死亡人数的下降所驱动的。进一步的证据表明,依法获得训练有素的医生是一个基本渠道。这一发现可能是由于保险基金医生传播了传染病预防的新知识。
We study the impact of social health insurance on mortality. Using the introduction of compulsory health insurance in the German Empire in 1884 as a natural experiment, we estimate difference-in-differences and regional fixed effects models exploiting variation in eligibility for insurance across occupations. Our findings suggest that Bismarck’s health insurance generated a significant mortality reduction. Despite the absence of antibiotics and most vaccines, we find the results to be largely driven by a decline of deaths from infectious diseases. Further evidence suggests that statutory access to well-trained doctors was an elementary channel. This finding may be explained by insurance fund physicians transmitting new knowledge on infectious disease prevention.
