  • Absenteeism, Gender and the Morbidity–Mortality Paradox
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Journal of applied econometrics (Chichester, England). - : Wiley. - 0883-7252 .- 1099-1255. ; 32:2, s. 440-462

    • Women are, on average, more often absent from work for health reasons than men, but live longer. This conflicting pattern suggests that the gender absenteeism gap arises partly from factors unrelated to objective health. An overlooked explanation is that men and women might have different preferences for absenteeism due to different attitudes to, for example, risk. Using detailed administrative data on absenteeism, hospitalizations, and mortality, we evaluate the existence of gender-specific preferences for absenteeism and analyze whether these differences are socially determined. We find robust evidence of gender differences in absenteeism that cannot be explained by poorer objective health among women.

  • Do responses to news matter? : Evidence from interventional cardiology
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Journal of Health Economics. - : Elsevier. - 0167-6296 .- 1879-1646. ; 94
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We examine physician responses to a global information shock and how these impact their patients. We exploit international news over the safety of an innovation in healthcare, the drugeluting stent. We use data on interventional cardiologists' use of stents to define and measure cardiologists' responsiveness to the initial positive news and link this to their patients' outcomes. We find substantial heterogeneity in responsiveness to news. Patients treated by cardiologists who respond slowly to the initial positive news have fewer adverse outcomes. This is not due to patient-physician sorting. Instead, our results suggest that the differences are partially driven by slow responders being better at deciding when (not) to use the new technology, which in turn affects their patient outcomes.

  • Estimating returns to hospital volume : Evidence from advanced cancer surgery
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Journal of Health Economics. - : Elsevier. - 0167-6296 .- 1879-1646. ; 63, s. 81-99
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • High-volume hospitals typically perform better than low-volume hospitals. In this paper, we study whether such patterns reflect a causal effect of case volume on patient outcomes. To this end, we exploit closures and openings of entire cancer clinics in Swedish hospitals which provides sharp and arguably exogenous variation in case volumes. Using detailed register data on more than 100,000 treatment episodes of advanced cancer surgery, our results suggest substantial positive effects of operation volume on survival. Complementary analyses point to learning-by-doing as an important explanation. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Improving efficiency or impairing access? Health care consolidation and quality of care : Evidence from emergency hospital closures in Sweden
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Journal of Health Economics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0167-6296 .- 1879-1646. ; 48, s. 44-60
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Recent health care consolidation trends raise the important policy question whether improved emergency medical services and enhanced productivity can offset adverse quality effects from decreased access. This paper empirically analyzes how geographical distance from an emergency hospital affects the probability of surviving an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), accounting for health-based spatial sorting and data limitations on out-of-hospital mortality. Exploiting policy-induced variation in hospital distance derived from emergency hospital closures and detailed Swedish mortality data over two decades, results show a drastically decreasing probability of surviving an AMI as residential distance from a hospital increases one year after a closure occurred. The effect disappears in subsequent years, however, suggesting that involved agents quickly adapted to the new environment.

  • Microeconometric Analyses of Individual Behavior in Public Welfare Systems : Applications in Health and Education Economics
  • 2014
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This thesis consists of four self-contained essays.Essay 1: Women have more absenteeism while simultaneously live longer than men. This pattern suggests that men and women's preferences for sickness absence might differ due to e.g. distinct health behaviors. These behaviors could, in turn, arise from the traditional gender division of labor within households, in which it might be more important to invest in the woman's health. We empirically analyze these hypotheses using administrative health data and find robust evidence for gender differences in preferences for health-related absenteeism.Essay 2: The paper analyzes whether residential proximity from an emergency room affects health outcomes from suffering an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous research has suffered from empirical problems relating to health-based spatial sorting of involved agents and data limitations on out-of-hospital mortality. Using policy-induced variation in hospital distance, arising from emergency room closures, and data on all AMI deaths in Sweden over a twenty-year period, results show a clear and gradually declining probability of surviving an AMI as hospital distance increases.Essay 3: Although learning-by-doing is believed to be an important source of productivity, there is limited evidence that increased production volume enhances productivity. We document evidence of learning-by-doing in a high-skill activity where stakes are high; advanced cancer surgery. For this purpose, we introduce a novel instrument that exploits changes in the number of public hospitals across time and space, affecting the number of cancer surgeries performed in Swedish hospitals. Using detailed register data, our results suggest substantial positive effects of operation volume on post-surgery survival rates.Essay 4: The paper analyzes whether student choice of college financing affects study durations by exploiting an intervention in the Swedish student aid system. The reform provided incentives for college students to reallocate time from studies to market work. We evaluate this time reallocation hypothesis by estimating relative changes in earnings and completed academic credits attributed to the intervention for students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Applying detailed Swedish administrative data, we find that the intervention both increased relative earnings and decreased the relative study pace for students from a lower socioeconomic background.

  • Modern Family? : Paternity Leave and Marital Stability
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: American Economic Journal. - : AMER ECONOMIC ASSOC. - 1945-7782 .- 1945-7790. ; 10:4, s. 283-307
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We study how relationship stability of couples is affected by an increase in fathers' involvement in staying home from work with young children. We make use of a parental leave reform in Sweden that earmarked one month of paid leave to each parent in a regression discontinuity difference-in-differences (RD-DD) framework. Couples who were affected by the reform increased the take-up of fathers' leave but also increased their probability of separation compared to unaffected couples. We argue that the separation effect can be explained by the degree of restrictiveness of the policy in combination with role conflicts in traditional family constellations.

  • Providers, peers and patients. How do physicians? : practice environments affect patient outcomes?
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Journal of Health Economics. - : Elsevier. - 0167-6296 .- 1879-1646. ; 89
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We study how physicians' practice environments affect their treatment decisions and quality of care. Using clinical registry data from Sweden, we compare stent choices of cardiologists moving across hospitals over time. To disentangle changes in practice styles attributable to hospital-and peer group-specific factors, we exploit quasi-random variation on cardiologists working together on the same days. We find that migrating cardiologists' stent choices rapidly adapt to their new practice environment after relocation and are equally driven by the hospital and peer environments. In contrast, while decision errors increase, treatment costs and adverse clinical events remain largely unchanged despite the altered practice styles.

  • Sex differences in sickness absence and the morbidity-mortality paradox : a longitudinal study using Swedish administrative registers
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: BMJ Open. - : BMJ. - 2044-6055. ; 9:8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective To analyse whether gender-specific health behaviour can be an explanation for why women outlive men, while having worse morbidity outcomes, known as the morbidity-mortality or gender paradox. Setting The working population in Sweden. Participants Thirty per cent random sample of Swedish women and men aged 40-59 with a hospital admission in the 1993-2004 period were included. The sample for analysis consists of 233274 individuals (115430 men and 117844 women) and in total 1 867013 observations on sickness absence. Intervention Hospital admission across 18 disease categories. Main outcome measures The main outcome measures were sickness absence (morbidity) and mortality. Longitudinal data at the individual level allow us to study how sickness absence changed after a hospital admission in men and women using a difference-in-differences regression analysis. Cox regression models are used to study differences in mortality after the admission. Results Women increased their sickness absence after a hospital admission by around five more days per year than men (95% CI 5.25 to 6.22). At the same time, men had higher mortality in the 18 diagnosis categories analysed. The pattern of more sickness absence in women was the same across 17 different diagnosis categories. For neoplasm, with a 57% higher risk of death for men (54.18%-59.89%), the results depended on the imputation method of sickness for those deceased. By using the premortality means of sickness absence, men had an additional 14.47 (-16.30- -12.64) days of absence, but with zero imputation women had an additional 1.6 days of absence (0.05-3.20). Analyses with or without covariates revealed a coherent picture. Conclusions The pattern of increased sickness absence (morbidity) and lower mortality in women provides evidence on the more proactive and preventive behaviour of women than of men, which could thus explain the morbidity-mortality paradox.
