The roads to managed competition for mixed public-private health systems: a conceptual framework
Health Econ Policy Law. 2024 Apr 2:1-16. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000373. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealth systems' insurance/funding can be organised in several ways. Some countries have adopted systems with a mixture of public-private involvement (e.g. Australia, Chile, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand) which creates two-tier health systems, allowing consumers (groups) to have preferential access to the basic standard of care (e.g. skipping waiting times). The degree to which efficiency and equity are achieved in these types of systems is questioned. In this paper, we consider integration of the two tiers by means o...

Severe prenatal shocks and adolescent health: Evidence from the Dutch Hunger Winter
Econ Hum Biol. 2024 Mar 2;53:101372. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2024.101372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper investigates health impacts at the end of adolescence of prenatal exposure to multiple shocks, by exploiting the unique natural experiment of the Dutch Hunger Winter. At the end of World War II, a famine occurred abruptly in the Western Netherlands (November 1944-May 1945), pushing the previously and subsequently well-nourished Dutch population to the brink of starvation. We link high-quality military recruits data with objective health measurements for the cohorts born in the years surrounding WWII with newly digi...

Medical marijuana laws and mental health in the United States
Health Econ Policy Law. 2024 Apr 2:1-16. doi: 10.1017/S1744133124000033. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe consequences of legal access to medical marijuana for individuals' well-being are controversially assessed. We contribute to the discussion by evaluating the impact of the introduction of medical marijuana laws across US states on self-reported mental health considering different motives for cannabis consumption. Our analysis is based on BRFSS survey data from close to eight million respondents between 1993 and 2018 that we combine with information from the NSDUH to estimate individual consumption propensities. We fin...
