Health insurance and the demand for medical care: Instrumental variable estimates using health insurer claims data.
This paper takes a different approach to estimating demand for medical care that uses the negotiated prices between insurers and providers as an instrument. The instrument is viewed as a textbook "cost shifting" instrument that impacts plan offerings, but is unobserved by consumers. The paper finds a price elasticity of demand of around -0.20, matching the elasticity found in the RAND Health In...
متن کاملEstimating influenza vaccine effectiveness in community-dwelling elderly patients using the instrumental variable analysis method.
BACKGROUND Estimates of influenza vaccine effectiveness in elderly individuals are largely from observational studies, which are susceptible to bias. Instrumental variable (IV) methods control for overt and hidden biases in observational studies. METHODS We used linked health administrative databases in Ontario to examine the association between influenza vaccination and all-cause mortality a...

متن کاملInstrumental variable subspace tracking using projection approximation
Subspace estimation plays an important role in, for example, sensor array signal processing. Recursive methods for subspace tracking, with obvious applications to non-stationary environments, have also drawn considerable interest. In this paper we present an Instrumental Variable (IV) extension of the recently developed Projection Approximation Subspace Tracking (PAST) algorithm. The IV-approac...
متن کاملTwo-stage instrumental variable methods for estimating the causal odds ratio: analysis of bias.
We present closed-form expressions of asymptotic bias for the causal odds ratio from two estimation approaches of instrumental variable logistic regression: (i) the two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) method and (ii) the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) approach. Under the 2SPS approach, the first stage model yields the predicted value of treatment as a function of an instrument and cova...
