The Effect of Dental Insurance on Dental Care Use and Selection Bias
OBJECTIVES: We examine the effect of dental insurance coverage on the probability of having a dental care visit in light of selection bias. METHODS: We use data from the 2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and use 3 different approaches to control for selection bias. First, we use a probit specification and include a rich set of independent variables that we posit control for unobserved attitudes toward risk and health care. Second, we use an i…
A Closer Look at the Managed Care Backlash
BACKGROUND: Much anecdotal evidence exists regarding the managed care backlash of the late 1990s, but limited empirical evidence is available. OBJECTIVES: Using a unique series of employer surveys, we examined trends in enrollment rates in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other plan types between 1997 and 2003. RESEARCH DESIGN: We present enrollment rates in employer-sponsored health plans by plan type. These plan-level enrollment rate…

Res…

Health Insurance and Job Mobility
Health Insurance and Job Mobility
It is widely hypothesized that health insurance deters job mobility because of imperfections in the labor and health insurance markets. This paper describes the nature of the welfare loss attributable to such "job-lock" and reviews several studies that empirically test the job-lock hypothesis. The authors find that estimates of the magnitude and importance of job-lock vary. Studies that support the job-lock hypothesis typically report a 20% to 40…
