Emergency department crowding
Can GPs referral reduce the inappropriate use of Emergency Departments (ED)? Our paper allows us to shed some light on this policy relevant issue by exploiting a unique dataset of 38,572 admission records from the province of Trento in 2018. The dataset contains, among other things, specific information on how the decision to visit the ED (i.e., was it the patient's own decision or was the visit based on the advice of their GP) was made. In our d…
With a little help from my (neighbouring) friends. ‘Border region patient mobility’ in the European Union
Increased disparities in income and health care expenditure across EU countries may lead to an increase in patient mobility, which may, in turn, call for more action by the EU and its Member States. At present, patient mobility (or cross-border healthcare) is still a marginal phenomenon but is deemed to increase in the future. In this paper we examine border region patient mobility, defined as patients receiving care in a neighbouring country wit…

Environmental taxation and profit-shifting activities
Tax evasion and debt in a dynamic general equilibrium model
The literature has long analysed optimal taxation policies in economies where tax evasion is widespread. Nevertheless, very little has been produced on the relationship between public debt, tax evasion, and long-term economic growth. In this article, we investigate the relationship between sovereign debt sustainability and tax evasion by computing under which conditions the debt/GDP ratio is endogenously mean reverting in the context where tax ev…
Is there a bias in patient choices for hospital care? Evidence from three Italian regional health systems
When fear backfires
Is there scope for mixed markets in the provision of hospital care
Regulation Strategies for the Provision of Paternalistic Goods
In this study, we analyze the regulation of markets for the provision of services whose costs are subsidized for paternalistic reasons. We model the choice of a benevolent regulator who wants to maximize consumer welfare in a setting where quality cannot be verified and the good provided is fully subsidized. The choice is thus made between two types of providers (profit maximizers and altruistic providers) and two frameworks (monopoly franchise a…

Does the flypaper model stick? A test of the relative performance of the flypaper and conventional models of local government budgetary behaviour
An Assessment of the Regional Impact of the Introduction of a Community Charge (or Poll Tax) in England
BARNETT R. R., LEVAGGI R. and SMITH P. (1990) An assessment of the regional impact of the introduction of a community charge (or poll tax) in England, Reg. Studies 24, 289–297. In 1990 the system of local government finance in England will be changed dramatically, with the reforms including the introduction of a community charge, or poll tax, to replace the existing system of domestic property taxation. The reforms will result in major changes to…
The Impact of Party Politics on Patterns of Service Provision in English Local Authorities
The UK central government recommends that English local authorities should publish a series of performance indicators in order to enhance accountability. However, interpretation of these data is complicated by the need to take account of the environmental circumstances faced by authorities. This paper uses the needs indicators developed by the government to allocate grants-in-aid to determine whether it is possible to build satisfactory models of…
