本文分析了养老院的养老需求。横截面分析表明，需求的价格弹性很高（-2.2），需求越大，老年人提供自己护理的能力越差，成年妇女的就业机会越好，SMSA越富有。从1963年到1973年，利用率增加了67个百分点，但64个百分点可归因于这些需求变化变量的变化。这使人怀疑使用率的增长主要是由于在此期间改变了公共政策而刺激的观点。
This paper analyzes the demand for nursing home care for the aged. The cross-sectional analysis indicates a high price elasticity of demand (-2.2), and that the demand is greater the less capable are the aged of providing own care, the better the job opportunities of adult women, and the wealthier the SMSA. Utilization increased 67percentfrom 1963 to 1973,but 64 percentage points is attributable to changes in these demand shift variables. This casts doubt on the view that the growth in utilization was largely stimulated by changing public policies during the period.
