  • The effects of school shootings on risky behavior, health, and human capital

    Open AccessPartha Deb, Anjelica GangaramARTICLEJournal of Population Economics2024References: 1

    We examine the effect of school shootings on risky health behaviors, health, and human capital outcomes of exposed students as adults and on their migration during middle and high school and a few years beyond. We use shootings data compiled by the Center for Homeland Defense and Security along with 2003–2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to examine risky behaviors, health, and human capital outcomes, and the 2004–2018 American …

  • Does Early Follow-Up Improve the Outcomes of Sepsis Survivors Discharged to Home Health Care

    Partha Deb, Christopher M Murtaugh et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019References: 31

    BACKGROUND: There is little evidence to guide the care of over a million sepsis survivors following hospital discharge despite high rates of hospital readmission. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether early home health nursing (first visit within 2 days of hospital discharge and at least 1 additional visit in the first posthospital week) and early physician follow-up (an outpatient visit in the first posthospital week) reduce 30-day readmissions among M…

  • Twopm

    Open AccessFederico Belotti, Partha Deb et al.ARTICLEThe Stata Journal: Promoting…2015

    In this article, we describe twopm, a command for fitting two-part models for mixed discrete-continuous outcomes. In the two-part model, a binary choice model is fit for the probability of observing a positive-versus-zero outcome. Then, conditional on a positive outcome, an appropriate regression model is fit for the positive outcome. The twopm command allows the user to leverage the capabilities of predict and margins to calculate predictions an…

  • Medicare Spending and Outcomes After Postacute Care for Stroke and Hip Fracture

    Melinda Beeuwkes Buntin, Carrie H Colla et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010References: 31

    BACKGROUND: Elderly patients who leave an acute care hospital after a stroke or a hip fracture may be discharged home, or undergo postacute rehabilitative care in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) or skilled nursing facility (SNF). Because 15% of Medicare expenditures are for these types of postacute care, it is important to understand their relative costs and the health outcomes they produce. OBJECTIVE: To assess Medicare payments for a…

  • Private Insurance, Selection, and Health Care Use

    Partha Deb, Murat K Munkin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2006

    Observed differences in medical utilization between the privately insured and uninsured reflect the combined effects of self-selection and insurance incentives (moral hazard). This article provides a Bayesian framework for decomposing the disparity into incentive and selection components. The effect of self-selection in private insurance on the number of doctor visits is estimated using a multiyear sample of the U.S. adult non-Medicare population…
