Patient flows through Valhalla : A survival analysis in the context of short-term care institutions
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Individuals experiencing functional decline may often require some form of assistance in order to reassume their activities of daily living. A common form of rehabilitation is a stay at a short-term institution, yet readmissions to such care facilities often occur. Home-based reablement has surfaced in Norway during the past ten years and aims to assist the user in reaching their own activity goals through a self-committed and intensive program, assisted by health care workers. The objective of this study isinquiring into the patient flows between home-nurse areas and short-term institutions in southern Norway over the…
DISCRIMINATIONS ETHNIQUES DANS L’ACCES AU LOGEMENT: UNE EXPERIMENTATION EN NOUVELLE-CALEDONIE
2016
Dans cette étude, nous mesurons les discriminations dans l’accès au logement dans le GrandNouméa, selon l’origine ethnique, en distinguant les origines kanak et européennes, et selon lequartier de résidence. Entre octobre 2015 et février 2016, nous avons répondu à 342 annonces enprésentant 4 candidats à la location pour chaque annonce, soit 1368 réponses à des annoncesimmobilières. Deux de nos candidats signalent par leur patronyme leur origine kanak, deuxsignalent une origine européenne. Dans chaque paire, un candidat donne un signal de stabilitéfinancière et professionnelle en indiquant explicitement qu’il est fonctionnaire. L’étude consiste àexploiter statistiquement ces données en les c…
Perception du risque dépendance et demande d'assurance : une analyse à partir de l'enquête PATER
2013
Dans la littérature économique, de nombreux travaux tentent d'expliquer pourquoi les individus s’assurent aussi peu contre la dépendance. Du côté de l’offre, différents freins possibles au développement du marché de l’assurance dépendance ont d’ores et déjà été pointés du doigt par la littérature. Les estimations récentes montrent néanmoins que les limites imputables à l’offre ne suffisent pas à expliquer le faible développement du marché : même si les assurances étaient moins coûteuses et les couvertures proposées plus larges, la majorité des individus ne souscrirait toujours pas d’assurance. Il est donc nécessaire d’aller trouver des explications du côté de la demande d’assurance dépendan…
Who cares? Evidence on informal and formal home care use in Estonia
2019
Despite increasing attention to long-term care (LTC) and related challenges in the Estonian social policy agenda, the distributional fairness of LTC services in the country has received very limited attention. Using SHARE data, we address informal and formal home care services and identify the socio-economic factors that drive or hinder their use among the Estonian elderly. The relationship between informal and formal home care utilization is estimated applying the new approach to instrumental variable method proposed by Lewbel [2012. Using heteroscedasticity to identify and estimate mismeasured and endogenous regressor models. Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, 30(1), 67–80]. We …
L'aide à un parent âgé, seul et dépendant : déterminants structurels et interactions
2016
With population ageing, the demand for home care of the disabled elderly is increasing and a large part of care is provided by informal caregivers. This paper focuses on the determinants of care provision by children to an old, single and disabled parent. We focus on two-child families and apply a semi-structural methodology, already implemented on European data (survey SHARE). It makes it possible to distinguish between two types of determinants: structural determinants (individual, parental and family characteristics) and interactions (effect of the care provision of one child on the care provision of the other). The estimation of this model on data of the French survey "Handicap Santé Mé…

Who turns to entrepreneurship later in life? - Push and pull in Finnish rural and urban areas
2014
Age is an important factor in entrepreneurship. The paths into entrepreneurship at a later age may be varied. Self-employment in later life may be either a form of partial retirement or a career option. Older individuals may also be pushed into self-employment. The focus of this paper is on the career choices of older individuals and their background motivations in Finland. The purpose is to analyse the factors and motives in terms of the push and pull dichotomy that lead individuals to enter self-employment at older ages in different types of labour markets in Finland, viz., rural and urban areas. Although some studies have focused on transitions to self-employment among older workers, que…
Long-term health effects on the next generation of Ramadan fasting during pregnancy
2011
Each year, many pregnant women fast from dawn to sunset during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Medical theory suggests that this may have negative long-term health effects on their offspring. Building upon the work of Almond and Mazumder (2008), and using Indonesian crosssectional data, I show that people who were exposed to Ramadan fasting during their mother's pregnancy have a poorer general health and are sick more often than people who were not exposed. This effect is especially pronounced among older people, who, when exposed, also report health problems more often that are indicative of coronary heart problems and type 2 diabetes. The exposed are a bit smaller in body size and weig…
Dans quelle mesure les préférences individuelles contraignent-elles le développement du marché de l'assurance dépendance ?
2015
Dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population, différents scenarii sont envisagés pour réformer l’organisation et le financement de la prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes. La place de la prévoyance individuelle dans le financement de la dépendance est à ce titre largement débattue. À l’heure actuelle, malgré des restes à charge potentiellement conséquents, peu d’individus disposent d’une couverture assurantielle. Cet article vise à enrichir la littérature existante en évaluant dans quelle mesure les préférences observées dans la population limitent cette couverture. Nous mobilisons pour cela l’enquête Patrimoine et préférences vis-à-vis du temps et du risque (Pater) de 201…
