Testing for slope heterogeneity in Stata
In this article, we introduce a new community-contributed command, xthst, to test for slope heterogeneity in panels with many observations over cross-sectional units and time periods. The command implements such a test, the delta test (Pesaran and Yamagata, 2008, Journal of Econometrics 142: 50–93). Under its null, slope coefficients are homogeneous across cross-sectional units. Under the alternative, slope coefficients are heterogeneous in the cross-sectional dimension. xthst also includes two extensions. The first is a heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation-consistent robust test along the lines of Blomquist and Westerlund (2013, Economics Letters 121: 374–378). The second extension is …
Empirical evaluation of home-based reablement: A review
Home-based reablement (HBR) aims to restore or increase patients’ level of functioning, thereby increasing the patients’ self-reliance and consequently decreasing their dependence on healthcare services. To date, the evidence on whether HBR is an efficient method has not been comprehensively reviewed. The aim of this study was to provide a concise summary of relevant existing findings. In addition, we provide a critical constructive assessment of the publications reflecting the extant research. The relevant literature on this topic was identified through a systematic search of appropriate databases. Thereafter, we screened the studies, first by title, followed by abstract and then by asses…
Effects of home-based reablement : A micro-econometric approach
The common theme of this thesis is estimating e ects of home-based reablement (HBR) by applying micro-econometrics. Estimating cost related e ects of HBR proved challenging, mainly due to speci cs of the Norwegian public health setting and the individual tailoring of the HBR treatment. However, important results for the Norwegian public sector have been generated through an immense data job and by applying state-of-the-art econometric techniques. This thesis adds to the growing literature assessing empirical e ects of new health interventions.
