TL;DR: Using panel data from 22 OECD countries from the first half of the 1990s, population ageing is found to be negatively correlated with health expenditure once proximity to death is accounted for, suggesting that the effects of ageing on health expenditure growth might be overstated while theeffects of the high costs of medical care at the end of life are potentially underestimated.

TL;DR: The Australian government implemented a sequence of new policy initiatives during 1997{2000 with a stated aim of raising the take-up rate of private health insurance (PHI), and the effects of those different policies are isolated using the 1995 and 2001 National Health Survey data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) introduced at the last stage of the sequence using a counterfactual analysis of PHI demand with and without the new policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an assessment of how airline code-share alliances affect the costs of the airline industry and find that large alliance partners have a small negative effect on airlines' costs, but small alliance partners' effect on costs appear to be positive, although the magnitude is negligible.

TL;DR: Allowing payments to be used for specific purposes, such as quality improvement, had a higher likelihood of a positive effect, compared with using funding for physician income, and the size of incentive payments relative to revenue was not associated with the proportion of positive outcomes.
