Economic analysis of inter-relationships between private health insurance and health expenditures

保健服务涉及私人和公共资金和提供的复杂组合。政策举措，如私人医疗保险激励措施，与结果之间的联系往往不清楚。该项目涉及对个人健康保险和医疗保健消费决策及其相互作用的详细经济和计量经济学调查，以及对公共和私营部门医疗保健利用和支出的影响。该项目的重要性在于它使用创新方法将联合收割机几个数据来源结合起来，并有可能使所产生的模型预测未来卫生政策倡议的影响。

Health care services involve a complex mix of private and public funding and provision. The links between policy initiatives, such as private health insurance incentives, and outcomes are often unclear. This project involves a detailed economic and econometric investigation of individual health insurance and health care consumption decisions and their interaction, and the resulting impact on health care utilisation and expenditure across public and private sectors. The significance of the project lies in its use of innovative methods to combine several data sources, and in the potential for the resulting models to predict the impact of future health policy initiatives.
