The utilized Econometrics organization has dedicated to the subject symposia in under 3 years (Lyons, February 1983; Rotterdam, December 1985), with out experiencing any problems in getting worthy papers: on econometrics of dangers and health insurance, at the size of well-being prestige and of potency of scientific suggestions, on common types permitting simulation. those have been the subjects for the second one assembly, yet different features of medical-economic difficulties had offered themselves already to the analyst: clinical determination making and its effects, the behaviour of the actors - sufferers and physicians -, local medicometrics and what no longer: a few of them were lined by means of the 1st assembly. ultimately, in July 1988 happened in Lyons the Fourth foreign convention on process technological know-how in healthiness Care; it's going to no longer be spectacular .

A surprising result is that emphasis on Quality (ATIlT 1) is negatively related to the number of private physician visits. We note finally that children whose mothers work part-time have more private visits, less health center visits, and relatively high overall utilization.
Multiple Indicator MultIple Causes (Joreskog and Goldberger, 1975). Equation (la) may be considered as the reduced form of a more complicated, simultaneous model. Here we will only be concerned with the parameters Jrk( and not with the underlying structural parameters. 8 C + 32. - and 1]4-equation; 1]1 and 1]4 should be substituted in the 1]6-equation. The correlation of the reduced form disturbance terms as a result of the latter substitution does not affect the discussion about the interpretation of the MIMIS-HSI in the previous section.
The other two health factors show the expected positive impact on utilization almost everywhere. As was the case for adults, HSTA T seems to contain information about the children's health that is not contained in the four health factors included in the regression. With the exception of HOSPERVS, HSTA T is significantly positively related to all forms of health care utilization. , HSTA T contains information not included in the other health variables. Given the large amount of other health information contained in the health factors included (especially for children), these results are surprising.
