The Relationship Between Insurance Type And Health Care Costs, Use And Choice Of Outpatient Provider, Dan-Alexandru Balan
The Relationship Between Insurance Type And Health Care Costs, Use And Choice Of Outpatient Provider, Dan-Alexandru Balan
Dissertations
The impact of insurance type on health care is a very important topic in health economics. This dissertation examines the relationship between insurance type and health care cost, use and outpatient provider choice using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data. I examine separately three types of services: emergency, nonemergency hospital care and outpatient because the effect of insurance type on use may depend on the type of health care service provided. The insurance types analyzed are Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), private fee-for-service employer insurance, private fee-for-service non-employer insurance, government insurance and self insurance. For each service, individuals paying for health …
The Impact Of Housing Prices On Aggregate Consumption: Evidence From An East Asian City-State, Sock-Yong Phang
The Impact Of Housing Prices On Aggregate Consumption: Evidence From An East Asian City-State, Sock-Yong Phang
Research Collection School Of Economics
Using aggregate consumption data for Singapore, this paper rejects the life-cycle/permanent income and myopia hypotheses as explanations for aggregate consumption behavior. We confirm the presence of liquidity constraints from the asymmetric reaction of consumption to income increases vis-a-vis income declines. When we allow for asymmetric response, anticipated house price increases appear to have a dampening effect on aggregate consumption while declines in expected house price growth also had a negative effect on consumption, although the results are statistically insignificant. There is no evidence that the housing price increases have produced either wealth or collateral enhancement effects on consumption.
Strategic Development Of Airport And Rail Infrastructure: The Case Of Singapore, Sock-Yong Phang
Strategic Development Of Airport And Rail Infrastructure: The Case Of Singapore, Sock-Yong Phang
Research Collection School Of Economics
This article recounts how a number of strategic infrastructure investment decisions in airport and rail development taken by the Singapore government were at variance with recommendations emerging from Cost-Benefit Analysis, but were considered necessary to support external competitiveness. This link between infrastructure provision and economic development may require decision makers to assess the trade-off between prudent macro-economic planning and efficient micro-economic management for major projects. In the case of airport hubs, the most difficult assessment might be the game consideration of how much, and how far ahead, excess capacity is needed to ensure the dominance of the hub.
Better Revenue Forecasting: Is Fiscal Stress A Stimulant? A Look At Nevada Local Governments, Richard A. Derrick
Better Revenue Forecasting: Is Fiscal Stress A Stimulant? A Look At Nevada Local Governments, Richard A. Derrick
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Revenue forecasting is one of the most critical and often difficult tasks in governmental budgeting. It is critical because it determines the parameters upon which the budget is based. It is difficult because many outside influences can impact revenue results and cause variances with the forecast. If revenue is under projected, valuable services may not be provided during the fiscal year and an unexpected surplus may be created at year-end. By the time it becomes apparent that surpluses are developing, the damage to on-going programs and services, which may require consistency and budget stability for efficient delivery, may be done. …
Public Expenditure On Education And Income Inequality In Malaysia, Chu Kok Wee
Public Expenditure On Education And Income Inequality In Malaysia, Chu Kok Wee
Student Works (2000-2009)
The effects of education expenditure and education inequality on income inequality have been the focus of attention of many researchers and policymakers. In Malaysia, the evaluation of the effect of educational funding on economic inequality is an important and difficult task. It is important because education probably has some major impact on economic inequality; certainly Malaysian and the government have consistently assumed that it does. But it is also difficult because education's effects on society are multiple and complex; and scholars have been unable to agree, despite extensive study and discussion in recent years, about which effects are most important. …
An Econometric Analysis Of The Relationship Between Public Expenditure And National Income In Malaysia, Yin Wai Tung
An Econometric Analysis Of The Relationship Between Public Expenditure And National Income In Malaysia, Yin Wai Tung
Student Works (2000-2009)
The purpose of this study is to analyse public expenditure growth in Malaysia for the period of 1970-2000. This paper investigates the existence of a long-run relationship between national income and various categories of public expenditure as proposed by Wagner's Law. In Wagner's framework, public expenditure can be treated as an endogenous factor that suggests that public expenditure grows as a result of growth in national income. Causality is expected to run from national income to public expenditure. This contradicts the famous Keynesian doctrine that treats public expenditure as an exogenous factor. As opposed to Wagner's Law, it implies that …
The Implications Of The Financial Crisis For Malaysian Economy, Amir Raslan Abu Bakar
The Implications Of The Financial Crisis For Malaysian Economy, Amir Raslan Abu Bakar
Student Works (2000-2009)
Malaysia had been blessed by rapid economic growth for the past 10 years prior to 1997. In fact, the success of the Malaysian economy had caught the eyes of developed and developing countries to study how Malaysia managed to achieve such growth. However, when the currency speculators attacked the Thai bath in July, 1997, things started to change. That was the beginning point to the 'nightmare' that the Malaysian economy was about to suffer. Later, more and more firms had to cease operations due to financial difficulties. The unemployment rate and interest rate were increasing. The Malaysian government came up …
The Determinants Of Private College Tuition Fees : A Hedonic Approach, Miin See
The Determinants Of Private College Tuition Fees : A Hedonic Approach, Miin See
Student Works (2000-2009)
In the private higher education markets in Malaysia today, education programs are marketed like any other commercial products. The programs are designed, packaged, priced and sold to the consumers - the students. Due to the fact that in these markets, the students are mostly self-funded (without scholarship) pricing strategy is one of the most important marketing tools used by the private higher education institutes (PHEIs). Using the hedonic pricing model, this study has identified several factors that are influential in determining the tuition fee of a degree program offered by a PHEI in Malaysia. This study investigates two markets: the …
