Topic 1:The Effect of Hospital Privatization on Medical Expenditures under Price Regulation: Evidence From China

Abstract:Since the implementation of the new round of national healthcare reform in 2009, Chinese government has introduced various policies that aim to encourage domestic as well as foreign private capitals to invest in the country’s hospital industry. Consequently, the percentage of hospitals that are not fully owned by governments has increased from less than 30% in 2009 to 40% in 2012. However, the rapid change in the number of private suppliers did not result in a corresponding shift in the demand pattern of healthcare services. We argue that one of the explanations could be due to the tight price regulations on public hospitals by the Chinese government, which could have a negative spillover effect on the ability of private hospital to engage in price competition, consequently, on the overall development of private hospitals.  In this study, we try to empirically analyze whether the change of hospital ownership could have an influence on total medical expenditures.

Topic 2:Corruption costs lives: evidence from a cross-country study

Abstract:  This paper investigates the effect of corruption on health outcomes by using recent cross-country panel data covering about 150 countries for the period of 1995 to 2012. By employing OLS, fixed effects model and 2SLS methods to cross check the results to different model specifications, it is found that corruption significantly increases mortality rates, reduce life expectancy, immunization rates and fertility rate. The results are quite consistent across different regions, different gender, and different measures of corruption. The findings suggest that corruption reduction itself is an effective method to improve health outcomes. Many other interesting findings are documented.
