| Abstract: | In this chapter we portray the effects of female education and professional achievement on fertility decline in Spain over the period 1920-1980 (birth cohorts of 1900-1950). A longitudinal econometric approach is used to test the hypothesis that the effects of women’s education in the revaluing of their time had a very significant influence on fertility decline. Although in the historical context presented here improvements in schooling were on a modest scale, they were continuous (with the interruption of the Civil War) and had a significant impact in shaping a model of low fertility in Spain. We also stress the relevance of this result in a context such as the Spanish for which liberal values were absent, fertility control practices were forbidden, and labour force participation of women was politically and socially constrained. |

| Abstract: | The economic cost of the U.S. health care system goes beyond the cost of prescription drugs, doctor office visits and surgical procedures/ medical image tests. The implicit part of the cost includes the global competitiveness that the U.S. loses being an industrialized economy. The high health care costs drive jobs, human capital and technology to countries where wages and health care costs are lower as companies attempt to survive. This holistic perception to health care cost is a precursor to intersystem competition that will yield better quality and efficiency thus lowering the cost of health care in the U.S. |

| Abstract: | Many countries experienced a rema rkable increase in life expectancy during the 20th century, but the development implications have received only modest attention. We analyze steady state and out-of-steady-state effects of the transition in adult longevity on the national saving rate using an overlapping generations model. We show that the national saving rate depends on both the level and rate of change in adult survival. Countries with rapid transitions have particularly elevated saving rates. Empirical evidence is drawn from two sources: long-term historical trends for a small number of countries and world panel data for 1960-95. Two important conclusions are supported by the empirical analysis. First, the demographic transition had a large positive effect on aggregate saving, but over three-quarters of the gain was due to improvements in old-age survival rather than declines in youth dependency. Second, population aging will not lead to a decline in aggregate saving rates. The compositional effect – lower saving rates among the elderly – is dominated by the behavioral effect – individuals will save more to provide for a longer old age. |

| Abstract: | In many Western countries, the relative weight of people – measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI) – has increased substantially in recent years, leading to an increasing incidence of overweight and related health problems. As with many forms of risky behavior, it is plausible that overweight is related to the individual discount rate. Increases in credit card debts, the rise in gambling and the development of a more hedonic life style, suggest that the average discount rate has increased over time. This increase may have been the cause of the increase in BMI. Applying a large set of indicators for the individual discount rate, this paper analyzes whether changes in time discounting can account for differences in body mass between individuals at a given point in time and whether changes in the average individual discount rate can explain the remarkable increase in BMI experienced in recent years. We find some evidence for a link between time discounting and differences in BMI between people, but this relationship depends strongly on the choice of the proxy for the discount rate. Giving our hypothesis the best chance, we analyze the development of the time discounting proxies that are most strongly related to BMI. We find no evidence for a change of these proxies over time. Our main conclusion therefore is that overweight might be related to the way people discount future health benefits, but the increase in BMI has to be explained by shifts in other parameters that determine the intertemporal decisions regarding the trade-off of current and future health and satisfaction. |

| Abstract: | In his seminal 1970 book, The Gift Relationship, Richard Titmuss argued that monetary compensation for donating blood might crowd out the supply of blood donors. To test this claim we carry out a field experiment with three different treatments. In the first treatment subjects are given the opportunity to become blood donors without any compensation. In the second treatment subjects receive a payment of SEK 50 (¡Ö $7) for becoming blood donors, and in the third treatment subjects can choose between a SEK 50 payment and donating SEK 50 to charity. The results differ markedly between men and women. For men the supply of blood donors is not significantly different among the three experimental groups. For women there is a significant crowding out effect. The supply of blood donors decreases by almost half when a monetary payment is introduced. There is also a significant effect of allowing individuals to donate the payment to charity, and this effect fully counteracts the crowding out effect. <p> |

| Abstract: | The paper exploits a unique social experiment carried out in 1988 in Sweden to identify the effect of monitoring on sickness absence. The treatment consists of postponing the first formal point of monitoring during a sickness absence spell, a requirement for a doctor’s certificate, from day eight to day fifteen. The experiment was conducted in two geographical areas, and the treatment group was randomized by birth date. The results show strong effects on sickness absence duration from extending the waiting period in both areas. On average, the durations increased by 6.6 percent. No effect on incidence of sickness absence is found. A heterogeneity analysis reveals that monitoring affects men more than women. |

| Abstract: | This paper investigates the interactive impact of subsistence consumption and child mortality on fertility choice and child expenditure. It offers an explanation for why mankind multiplies at higher rates at geographically unfavorable, tropical locations. In a macro-economic framework it proposes an indirect channel of geography’s influence on economic performance. It explains why it are the world’s unfavorably located regions where we observe exceedingly slow (if not stalled) economic development and demographic transition. |

| Abstract: | White seniors report better health than Black seniors in urban areas in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the case even after controlling for baseline health conditions and several demographic, socio-economic and family support characteristics. Furthermore, adjusted racial disparities in self-reported health are larger than the disparities found using alternative measures of functional health. Our empirical research in this paper suggests that the two most important factors driving racial disparities in health among seniors (in our sample) are historical differences in rural living conditions and current income. Present economic conditions are more relevant to racial disparities among poor seniors than among rich seniors. Moreover, racial differences in health not attributable to observable characteristics are more important when comparing individuals in the upper half of the income distribution. |

| Abstract: | In this paper, trends in official development assistance (ODA) for Health AIDS and Population (HAP) are analysed to gain information about revealed priorities. The major findings are as follows: HIV/AIDS is clearly the top priority in international health assistance. While the share of HAP in total ODA has increased significantly over the last decade, however, if HIV/AIDS is excluded, health assistance is actually losing, not gaining share in total ODA. Even more striking, apart from HIV/AIDS, the health sub-sectors generally considered pro-poor are losing share in health ODA. These trends, inconsistent with the emphasis placed on health as a key sector in development and with growing recognition of the links between health and poverty, are true both for aid-recipient countries as a whole and for least-developed countries. They help to explain and underscore the urgency of warnings emanating from the international public health community that international support for health development is insufficient. They also raise the issue of whether HAP assistance is being effectively allocated to address the needs of the poor.... Ce document se propose d’analyser l’évolution de l’aide publique au développement (APD) consacrée à la santé, au sida et à la population (HAP) afin de collecter des informations sur les priorités identifiées. Plusieurs conclusions s’imposent. Le VIH/sida apparaît clairement comme la première priorité de l’aide internationale en matière de santé. Si la part globale de l’aide HAP dans le total de l’APD a sensiblement augmenté au cours des dix dernières années, l’assistance à la santé perd en fait du terrain dès lors que l’on exclut les données relatives au VIH/sida. Mais il y a plus : les sous-secteurs de la santé (hors VIH/sida), qui sont en général considérés comme « favorables aux pauvres », perdent en importance dans l’APD en matière de santé. Ces évolutions — qui contredisent la place officielle accordée à la santé en tant que secteur primordial du développement et la reconnaissance croissante des liens entre santé et pauvreté – se retrouvent autant chez les pays bénéficiaires de l’aide pris dans leur ensemble que chez les pays moins avancés. Elles permettent d’expliquer et de souligner l’importance des mises en garde de la communauté internationale chargée de la santé publique, qui estime que l’aide internationale en matière de santé reste insuffisante. Elles soulèvent également une interrogation quant à l’efficacité de l’allocation de l’aide HAP par rapport aux besoins des pauvres... |

| Abstract: | Sweden’s single biggest economic problem is the high number of people absent from work due to sickness or disability. This paper describes the problem and looks at what other countries have done to reduce absenteeism. It emphasises a mutual obligations approach to sickness insurance. This means placing greater responsibilities on the sick person, the employer and the social insurance office to get that person back to work as soon as possible. <P>Réduire l'incidence des congés de maladie en Suède Le principal problème économique de la Suède est le taux élevé d’absentéisme pour cause de maladie ou d’invalidité. Cette communication expose le problème et examine les mesures prises par d’autres pays pour y remédier. Il souligne l’importance de fonder le système d’assurance-maladie sur le principe de l’obligation mutuelle. Ceci suppose de responsabiliser davantage le travailleur malade, l’employeur et le bureau d’assurance sociale pour que l’intéressé reprenne son activité le plus rapidement possible. |

| Abstract: | This paper reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the Swedish healthcare system and the challenges that it will face in the future. It discusses ways to improve access to primary care, including different methods for paying GPs, whether access is less equitable than in other countries and the role of patient fees. The maximum waiting time guarantee for elective surgery is reviewed, along with ways of reducing regional variations in quality. The extent of decentralisation is questioned, as that may be affecting the quality of care and value for money in some areas, including elderly and psychiatric care. Mechanisms for improving the hospital sector are also examined including fee-for-service (DRG) payment mechanisms and whether for-profit hospitals would help. Finally, it considers ways to make financing more stable and sustainable. <P>Soins de santé en Suède Cette communication étudie les forces et les faiblesses du système de santé suédois et les défis qui le guettent. Elle examine plusieurs pistes pour améliorer l'accès aux soins de premier recours, notamment différentes manières de rémunérer les médecins généralistes; elle s'efforce également de déterminer si l'accès aux soins est plus ou moins équitable qu'à l'étranger et traite du rôle des honoraires payés par les patients. L'étude s'attache ensuite au temps maximum d'attente pour les actes de chirurgie non vitale et à la manière de réduire les disparités de qualité entre régions. L'étendue de la décentralisation est mise en question dans la mesure où elle pourrait avoir une incidence sur la qualité des soins et sur l'efficacité de la dépense tout particulièrement en gériatrie et en psychiatrie. L'étude examine des mécanismes pour améliorer le fonctionnement du secteur hospitalier y compris l'introduction du paiement à l'acte et la création d'hopitaux à but lucratif. Enfin, l'étude réfléchit à la manière d'assurer la stabilité et la pérennité des ressources financières du secteur. |

| Abstract: | One area where spending discipline will become increasingly important in Hungary is health care. This paper describes the structure of the health care system, highlights outstanding weaknesses and considers ways to make financing more stable and sustainable. The slow progress in modernising the health care system is reflected in the low efficiency of hospitals, excessive recourse to inpatient care and heavy prescription of drugs by doctors. The paper discusses ways to modernise the hospitals, including options for giving them more scope in managing resources and greater incentives to introduce efficiency enhancing improvements. To help reduce unnecessary use of inpatient services, mechanisms are suggested for strengthening the “gatekeeping” function of general practitioners and for reinforcing controls over treatment decisions. The paper also considers ways to contain the cost of subsidies to pharmaceutical companies. <P>A la rercherche de l'efficience La santé est l’un des secteurs où la maîtrise des dépenses va devenir de plus en plus importante. Le présent document décrit la structure du système de soins de santé, met en lumière ses principales faiblesses et examine les moyens de stabiliser et de pérenniser son financement. La lenteur des progrès accomplis dans la voie de la modernisation du système de soins de santé se traduit par un manque d’efficience des hôpitaux, un recours excessif aux soins hospitaliers et une prescription abusive de médicaments. Diverses pistes sont envisagées pour moderniser les hôpitaux, consistant notamment à leur laisser plus de latitude pour gérer leurs ressources et à les inciter davantage à améliorer leur efficience. Afin d’optimiser l’utilisation des services hospitaliers, des mécanismes sont proposés pour renforcer la fonction de filtrage exercée par les médecins généralistes et pour contrôler plus efficacement les décisions thérapeutiques. Enfin, les moyens d’endiguer le coût des transferts au profit des sociétés pharmaceutiques seront examinés. |

| Abstract: | As the number of older persons in need of long-term care increases, efforts to support older persons remaining in their home are intensified in most OECD countries. In this context of ageing in place, there is a movement towards allowing more individual choice for older persons receiving publicly funded long-term care at home. Having more flexibility in terms of how to receive care can increase the older person’s self-determination and that of his/her informal care givers. Having a choice among alternative care providers can empower older persons as consumers and may help strengthen the role of households in the care-management process. Choice can also help address quality aspects that are difficult to quantify but easy to experience for users, such as the personal interaction between the older person and the care giver. Le nombre de personnes âgées en perte d’autonomie augmentant, les efforts à leur intention destinés à leur permettre de continuer à vivre chez elles s’intensifient, dans la plupart des pays de l’OCDE. Dans cette logique du maintien à domicile, la tendance est à donner une liberté de choix de plus en plus grande aux personnes âgées qui bénéficient, chez elles, d’une aide et de services financés sur fonds publics. En acceptant plus de flexibilité dans les modalités de déploiement de la prestation on peut renforcer la capacité de décision de la personne âgée et des aidants informels. Le fait de donner à la personne âgée la liberté de choix entre différents prestataires peut lui conférer un certain poids en tant que consommateur, et cela peut contribuer à renforcer le rôle des ménages dans le processus de gestion de la prise en charge. La faculté de choisir peut aussi aider à prendre en compte les aspects qualitatifs, qui sont difficiles à mesurer mais très importants pour l’utilisateur, comme la qualité des échanges entre la personne âgée et la personne qui s’occupe d’elle. |
