Height and marital outcomes in the Netherlands, birth years 1841-1900
Adult body height appears to be significantly associated with marital outcomes: taller men across contexts have been found to be more likely to be married, and more likely to be married at younger ages. We are interested in exploring both outcomes individually and simultaneously, while using an unique, individual-level dataset of Dutch men and their brothers born between 1841 and 1900. To do so, we exploit survival models and cure models. While s…

The Role of Disability in Explaining Long-Term Care Utilization
OBJECTIVE: In view of aging populations, it is important to improve our understanding of the determination of long-term care (LTC) service use among the middle-aged and elderly population. We examined the likelihood of using 2 levels of LTC-homecare and institutional care-in the Netherlands and focused on the influence of the measured degree of disability. METHODS: We pooled 2 cross-sectional surveys-one that excluded institutionalized and one th…
Priority setting using multiple criteria
OBJECTIVES: To identify and weigh the various criteria for priority setting, and to assess whether a recently evaluated lung health programme in Nepal should be considered a priority in that country. METHODS: Through a discrete choice experiment with 66 respondents in Nepal, the relative importance of several criteria for priority setting was determined. Subsequently, a set of interventions, including the lung health programme, was rank ordered o…
Explaining income‐related inequalities in doctor utilisation in Europe
This paper presents new international comparative evidence on the factors driving inequalities in the use of GP and specialist services in 12 EU member states. The data are taken from the 1996 wave of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). We examine two types of utilisation (the probability of a visit and the conditional number of positive visits) for two types of medical care: general practitioner and medical specialist visits using pro…
On the interpretation of a concentration index of inequality
This paper aims to add a more intuitive understanding to the concept of a concentration index for measuring relative inequality with an application of health‐related measures by income. A new redistribution interpretation and an existing redistribution interpretation of the Gini are presented and applied to the concentration index. Both indicate the share of the total amount of any variable that needs redistributing in a particular way from rich …
Explaining the differences in income‐related health inequalities across European countries
This paper provides new evidence on the sources of differences in the degree of income‐related inequalities in self‐assessed health in 13 European Union member states. It goes beyond earlier work by measuring health using an interval regression approach to compute concentration indices and by decomposing inequality into its determining factors. New and more comparable data were used, taken from the 1996 wave of the European Community Household Pa…
