Hospital resilience
This paper evaluates the recovery of elective admissions in Italian hospitals following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on the dynamics between the public and private healthcare sectors. Employing a recovery metric that compares elective admission volumes in 2021 and 2022 to pre-pandemic levels, we observe significant regional variability in recovery rates, as well as disparities between public and private…
Cash transfers and health outcomes
BACKGROUND: Cash transfer programs are widely used to support household income and improve socioeconomic well-being. We examine the health impact of a nationwide transfer introduced in Italy in 2015, targeted at middle-income groups and providing up to €960 annually per beneficiary. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of the program on municipal all-cause mortality. METHODS: Leveraging panel data for all municipalities from 2010 to 2019, we exploit v…
Readmission and Hospital Quality under Different Payment Regimes
Recent health-care policies in OECD countries seem to consider hospital readmissions quality-dependent. In this paper, we study the incentives for hospitals to provide quality and cost-reducing effort under different payment regimes - either a retrospective or a prospective payment system - explicitly considering the role played by financial incentives linked to readmissions. In line with the general wisdom, we find that prospective payment syste…

In particular, we in…
