摘要

本文为美国卫生部门开发了一个卫星账户，并测量了1999年至2012年间老年人口卫生保健的生产率增长。我们测量了80种综合条件下医疗支出和健康结果的变化。在此期间，医疗保健的生产率正增长，总生产率每年增长1.5%。然而，生产率增长存在显著的异质性。心血管疾病的治疗已经有了非常高的生产力增长。相比之下，对肌肉骨骼疾病患者的护理费用高昂，但并没有改善结果。(jel e01, h51, i10)

A Satellite Account for Health in the United States

This paper develops a satellite account for the US health sector and measures productivity growth in health care for the elderly population between 1999 and 2012. We measure the change in medical spending and health outcomes for a comprehensive set of 80 conditions. Medical care has positive productivity growth over the time period, with aggregate productivity growth of 1.5 percent per year. However, there is significant heterogeneity in productivity growth. Care for cardiovascular disease has had very high productivity growth. In contrast, care for people with musculoskeletal conditions has been costly but has not led to improved outcomes.
