8 INTRODUCTION Health and its determinants, the behavior of physicians, and regulation of the health care sector-these are the timely themes of this book. A dozen contributions to the Third European Conference on Health Economics held in Stockholm (Sweden), 20 to 22 August 1995 were selectedto illuminate these issues. Part 1, comprising six papers, is devoted to people's health. Manfred Erbsland, Ulrich Ried, and Volker Ulrich provide long-awaited econometric evidence on the influence of the environment on health, using German micro data. Indeed, they fmd a nonneglegible negative effect on environmental pollution on health. The novelty of the contribution by Sandra Nocera and Peter Zweifel lies in their ability to trace a sample of Swiss individuals over a period of twelve years. The well-known Grossman model predicts a long-run positive relationship between medical care and health, but even these data strongly suggest a negative one: people seek care when they are in bad health. Jes Sogaard and Dorte Gyrd-Hansen examine the issue of discounting utility, which is crucial for the application of capital theory in the same Grossman model. They distinguish between deterministic and probabilistic approaches to life expectancy and show that depending on the choice, the present value of years gained may differ by a factor of no less than 150. Economists have always considered income to be one of the major determinants of health; however, its importance may diminish as income levels rise generally. This is precisely what Joao Pereira fmds in the case ofperinatal mortality in Portugal. However, over a period of twenty years, inequality in postnatal mortality shows a rebound after a drop in the 1970s. Inequality in health likely is related to inequality in income; specifically, a higher wage permits people to work less, which should enhance health. Gun Sundberg presents evidence of such a relationship. Finally, Ulf Gerdtham, Bengt J5nsson, Maitland MacFarlan, and Howard Oxley provide an international comparison of health care expenditure. They show that income growth explains most of the development of health care expenditure, pretty much regardless of the policy orientation ofgovernments. Part 2 consists of three papers that deal with the supply side of the market for health care services. In particular, financial incentives may well influence clinical decisions. Tor Iversen investigates the setting of priorities by Norwegain clinicians in response to a change in relative fees. He finds economic incentives to matter when it comes to the choice between inpatient and outpatient treatment of patients of the same diagnostic group but not when it comes to the treatment choices for patients belonging to different diagnostic groups. Anthony Scott and Alan Shiell present evidence suggesting that Australian GPs also change their style of practice in response to changed economic incentives. In particular, increased competition is shown to have a crucial effect. But above all, increased competition holds the
9 x HEALTH, THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, AND REGULATION promise of weeding out inefficiencies in the supply of health care services, not least in hospitals. Miika Linna and Unto Hlikkinen measure the average level of inefficiency in Finnish hospital in two ways, obtaining results that broadly agree. Part 3 contains three contributions devoted to health regulation. Regulatory effects very much depend on whether physicians are ethical or income maximizers. Using a linear programming model for income maximization, Mauricea Lynch concludes that only some 5 percent of British GPs unambiguously fall in the latter category. Regulation and deregulation are crucial issues also in insurance-based health care systems, where the problem of cream skimming of good risks has been at the center of debate. Konstantin Beck and Peter Zweifel show that Swiss sick funds, regardless of their status of social health insurers, engaged heavily in cream skimming. They propose an improvement of the risk adjustment formula that should substantially mitigate the incentive to cream skim. Finally Luca Crivelli and Peter Zweifel add an international touch by looking into so-called cross-border care in the European Union (EU). This is becoming an issue because citizens of EU member countries have the right to obtain treatment in another member country provided their claim is endorsed by a number of authorities. This editor for one found each of these topics fascinating. May this fascination spring over to the reader when he or she delves into some of these contributions, discovering parallels and differences that provide answers but also raise interesting questions for future research!
