项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): My training in medicine and in economics has led me to interests in a wide variety of topics in health economics. My initial research in graduate school encompassed topics such as the Japanese health economy returns to specialization for doctors, and technology adoption by hospitals. Since becoming a professional economist, my interests have focused mainly on the effects of insurance markets on vulnerable populations. The agenda for this application focuses on two different vulnerable populations in two different insurance markets: HIV+ patients who depend on secondary life insurance markets to finance their wellbeing; and the disabled who depend on Medicare for their care. The overarching theme is that a detailed understanding of the economics of insurance will help guide policies that can best help these populations. Two projects will cover much of my time over the next five years. The first, which builds upon an NIH funded project that began in Sep. 2003, aims to use the secondary market in life insurance as a vehicle to explore distortions in market behavior of chronically ill populations, such as those with HIV disease. The second, which builds upon an NIH funded program project through the NBER, and will begin in summer 2004, is a study of disability, chronic disease, and the future of Medicare. The proposed award will provide important opportunities to me to pursue research both directly and indirectly related to the above studies. It will allow me the time and flexibility to develop my career in three different areas: (1) learn about and develop a research agenda in the behavioral economics of health care; (2) gain experience serving as a principal investigator on projects; and (3) gain expertise with large and underused databases relevant to my research area.

描述（由申请人提供）：我在医学和经济学方面的训练使我对卫生经济学的各种主题感兴趣。我在研究生院最初的研究课题包括日本医疗经济向医生专业化的回归，以及医院对技术的采用。自从成为一名专业经济学家以来，我的兴趣主要集中在保险市场对弱势群体的影响上。该应用程序的议程侧重于两个不同保险市场中的两个不同弱势群体：依赖二级人寿保险市场为其健康提供资金的艾滋病毒+患者；以及依赖医疗保险的残疾人。最重要的主题是，对保险经济学的详细了解将有助于制定最能帮助这些人群的政策。
