Bayesian analysis of the two‐part model with endogeneity: application to health care expenditure
含内生性的两部模型贝叶斯分析:医疗支出应用
Abstract This paper studies the effect of managed care on medical expenditure using a model in which the insurance status is assumed to be endogenous. Insurance plan choice is modeled through the multinomial probit model. The medical expenditure variable, the outcome of interest, has a significant proportion of zeros that are handled using the two‐part model, extended to handle endogenous insurance. The estimation approach is Bayesian, based on the Gibbs Sampler. The model…
