Abstract Based on a recent non-parametric estimation of the relationship between age, lifespan and health and long-term care expenditures in German social health insurance, we present a simulation of the future development of contribution rates in th

There is agreement among health economists that on the whole medical innovation causes health care expenditures (HCE) to rise. This paper analyzes for which diagnoses HCE per patient have grown significantly faster than average HCE. We distinguish de

20 years ago, Zweifel, Felder and Meier (1999) established the by now famous "red-herring" hypothesis, according to which population ageing does not lead to an increase in per capita health care expenditures (HCE) because the observed positive correl

We derive a simple sufficient‐statistics test for whether a nonlinear tax‐transfer system is second‐best Pareto efficient. If it is not, then it is beyond the top of the Laffer curve and there exists a tax cut that is self‐financing. The test

In this paper, we analyze optimal risk adjustment for direct risk selection (DRS). Integrating insurers' activities for risk selection into a discrete choice model of individuals' health insurance choice shows that DRS has the structure of a contest.

In this note a new contest success function is derived that results in investments in equilibrium that are proportional to the square of the rent, which implies a dissipation rate that is not independent of, but increasing in the rent. Only for a con

In the absence of a perfect risk adjustment scheme, reimbursing health insurers' costs can reduce risk selection in community-rated health insurance markets. In this paper, we develop a model in which insurers determine the cost efficiency of health

Summary We examine the impact of tuition fees for long-term students at the University of Konstanz. Applying duration analysis to examine how tuition fees influence when and how students finish their studies in six different majors, we find significa

In this paper, we present a method to derive the optimal cost sharing formula to reduce risk selection in community-rated health insurance markets. Our main result is that selection incentives are reduced most effectively when costs are reimbursed wh
