Vertical efficiency can be measured by looking only at those receiving services. To measure ho…

Older people's views on how to finance increasing health-care costs

The data are from the Good Ageing in Skåne (GAS) prospective longitudinal cohort study in Sweden, which involved medical examinations and a survey of living arrangements and socio-economic conditions. For the analysis repo…
