本文旨在确定医疗保健提供变化的宏观经济影响，资源分配问题已经在理论上进行了探索，通过应用Rybczynski定理，并在经验上，使用可计算的一般均衡（CGE）模型为英国提供了详细的健康成分。从理论来看，非健康产出的变化取决于因素偏差和规模效应，净效应通常是不确定的。从应用的模型来看，国民健康服务（NHS）预算的增加会产生总体福利收益，假设医疗保健特定因素，福利收益会下降三分之二。名义上相同的移民政策会产生更高的福利收益。(C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
This paper seeks to determine the macro-economic impacts of changes in health care provision, The resource allocation issues have been explored in theory, by applying the Rybczynski theorem, and empirically, using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for the UK with a detailed health component. From the theory, changes in non-health out puts are shown to depend on factor-bias and scale effects, the net effects generally being indeterminate. From the applied model, a rise in the National Health Service (NHS) budget is shown to yield overall welfare gains, which fall by two-thirds assuming health care-specific factors. A nominally equivalent migration policy yields even higher welfare gains. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
