摘要
本研究利用发生在澳大利亚昆士兰州的一次自然实验,探讨了基于活动的拨款(ABF)对医院绩效的影响。为了考察改革的结果,医院的绩效是通过数据包络分析(DEA)模型估算的技术效率来衡量的。我们尝试在流行的两阶段 DEA 框架中采用差分法来识别 ABF 对医院技术效率的因果效应。我们发现实证证据表明 ABF 提高了医院的技术效率。
Activity-based funding reform and the performance of public hospitals: The case of Queensland, Australia
This study investigates the impact of activity-based funding (ABF) on the performance of hospitals by exploiting a natural experiment that happened in the state of Queensland, Australia. To examine the outcome of the reform, the performance of hospitals is measured by the technical efficiency estimated from data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. We try to identify the causal effect of ABF on the technical efficiency of hospitals by incorporating difference-in-differences approach in the popular two-stage DEA framework. We find empirical evidence that ABF improves the technical efficiency of hospitals.
