Equity in the finance of health care : Some further international comparisons
(1999) In Journal of Health Economics 18(3). p.263-290- Abstract
This paper presents further international comparisons of progressivity of health care financing systems. The paper builds on the work of Wagstaff et al. [Wagstaff, A., van Doorslaer E., et al., 1992. Equity in the finance of health care: some international comparisons, Journal of Health Economics 11, pp. 361-387] but extends it in a number of directions: we modify the methodology used there and achieve a higher degree of cross-country comparability in variable definitions; we update and extend the cross- section of countries; and we present evidence on trends in financing mixes and progressivity.
