Capital humain et coûts de friction
2009
Cet article propose une nouvelle approche de la confrontation entre les methodes du capital humain (mch) et des couts de friction (mcf) pour estimer les pertes de production liees a la maladie. Il defend l’idee que leur pertinence peut etre apprehendee sur la base de deux criteres : le type d’absence au travail considere (maladie ou deces) et le mode d’evaluation employe (analyse cout-efficacite, cout-utilite, etc.). Il elabore alors des recommandations d’utilisation de la mch et de la mcf visant a eviter les sur ou les sous-comptabilisations des effets de la maladie. L’analyse souligne que ces deux methodes ne devraient pas etre systematiquement opposees mais peuvent etre utilisees de mani…
Multidimensional Health Modelling: Association between Socioeconomic Factors and Health in Latvia
2012
This paper proposes new approach for modelling self-assessed health. We find that the concept of health is too complicated to measure effects of health determinants using a one-dimensional econometric model. We apply two-dimensional stereotype logistic model that allows capturing nonmonotonicity in effects of factors and revealing significant effects that remain unrevealed if single dimension models, such as ordered logit or ordered probit, are used. Modelling self-assessed health using multi-dimensional stereotype logit provides higher model goodness of fit and quality measures in comparison to ordered probit model. Multi-dimensional stereotype logit is applied to estimate association betw…
Association Between Self-Assessed Health and Attitude Towards Own Health
2014
This paper explores association between health and attitude towards own health in two dimensions – taking care of own health and lifestyle. We apply two-dimensional stereotype logit model to estimate association between self-assessed health and attitude towards health, after accounting for socioeconomic factors. We find evidence of strong positive association between health status and (perceived) taking care of own health and lifestyle. Analysis of perception of the two concepts – "taking care of own health" and "healthy lifestyle" – provides insights into possible reasons of not very good indicators of health behaviour among Latvian population.
