No Win, No Fee’, Cost‐shifting and the Costs of Civil Litigation
Expenditure on legal services has been rising for much of the last two decades and has attracted considerable policy attention in the UK. We argue that an important reason for this increase lies within the introduction of 'no win no fee' schemes in 1995 and a subsequent amendment which allowed claimants to shift additional costs (introduced by the 'no win no fee' schemes) onto losing defendants in 2000. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of th…
Changing experience of adverse medical events in the National Health Service
Mutual life insurers
This article considers the evolution of mutual life insurance companies in Britain. It investigates how they obtained their financing in the absence of share capital: the need to provide security for policyholders was typically met by guarantees that directors gave or by borrowing. Mutuals were, to some degree, kept in check by policyholders, who would, in the absence of effective regulation, raise vigorous challenge to directors if a firm under-…
Enterprise Liability, Risk Pooling, and Diagnostic Care
The safety of patients is an important responsibility of health care providers, and significant compensation costs may arise if providers are negligent. A widely debated option involves liability for such compensation being placed with the hospital rather than the individual clinician, a system known as “enterprise liability.” In the United States, partial adoption of enterprise liability and proposals for its universal introduction have accompan…

The Economics of Clinical Negligence Reform in England
In Britain, the NHS spends millions of pounds a year compensating patients injured during medical treatment. Compensation is paid if the patient can demonstrate that treatment was supplied negligently. However, concern over the cost, effectiveness and administrative efficiency of this approach has led jurisdictions like Sweden, New Zealand and some US states to alter the basis for compensation, and the Department of Health has now published propo…

The Analysis of Censored Treatment Cost Data in Economic Evaluation
This article investigates the way in which the presence of censored cost data in clinical trials should dictate the inferential tests adopted when comparing treatment and nontreatment groups for the purpose of economic evaluation. The authors argue that the techniques of survival analysis are appropriate where censoring is present, and that bias will be imparted if cruder methods are used to analyze cost data, even if that data is drawn from a re…
Business Response to Regulation
This chapter presents an economist's perspective on the interrelationship of the compliance and enforcement decisions of business and regulators in the context of regulations governing occupational health. Assuming profit‐maximizing firms and harm‐minimizing enforcement agencies, it is argued that a degree of preventive activity would be undertaken by businesses even in the absence of regulation. However, if employees are not fully informed about…

Male Labour Force Participation Following Illness or Injury
This paper develops a model of the disabled individual's labour force participation decision following illness or injury, and confronts it with data on the financial consequences of ill health. A utility function is specified which allows for the effect of changes in health on work-leisure preferences and is evaluated in relation to a household budget constraint. Estimation is through maximization of the appropriate likelihood function, correctin…
