Topic 1: The Impact of Health Insurance on Survival: Evidence from NCMS in Rural China

Abstract:We aim to provide evidence on whether insurance expansion played a causal role in adult mortality reductions in rural China. We use differences across counties in the timing of the introduction of NCMS to identify its impact on survival.  Using data on age-standardized death rates (ADR) per 1000 population from 72 rural counties covered by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Disease Surveillance Point (DSP) system from 2004 to 2012, we estimated regressions that included year fixed effects to control for mortality trends that are similar across counties in China; county fixed effects to control for time-invariant, unobservable differences across counties; and county-year-specific variables to control for economic, demographic, and healthcare factors specific to that county and year.

She has MA degrees in economics and Asian studies from the University of Hawaii and a BA in Asian studies summa cum laude (valedictorian) from Dartmouth College. Eggleston studied in China for two years and was a Fulbright scholar in Korea. Her research focuses on comparative healthcare systems and health reform in Asia, especially China; government and market roles in the health sector; payment incentives; healthcare productivity; and the economics of the demographic transition. She was a consultant to the World Bank on their project on health service delivery in rural China in 2004, to China's Ministry of Finance and the Asian Development Bank from 2010 to 2011 for an evaluation of China's health reforms, and to the World Bank/WHO/Government of China 2015 study on China's health service delivery system. She is a member of the Strategic Technical Advisory Committee for the Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies.

Topic 2: The Basic Economics of Drug Development and Pricing:  Are They Changing?

Abstract:This presentation will review the basic economics of drug development, emphasizing the global public good nature of new medicines.  The high and growing fixed costs of development will be described along with the  implications of the low marginal cost of production and distribution.  The need for global differential pricing to improve access and promote dynamic efficiency will be discussed.  While the basic incentives may not be changing, the rising costs of drug development may threaten the sustainability of the industry as we know it.  The role of precision medicine and the emerging debate on value frameworks will be discussed.
