Is Caring Productive? The Effect of Adult Social Care on Paid Production in England.
Long-term care (LTC) provides essential support to service users and informal carers to improve their quality of life. By improving quality of life, LTC can potentially impact economic growth, for example, it may enable service users of working age and their carers to spend more time in paid employment. This study investigates the effect of publicly-funded LTC expenditure on a measure of paid production across local authorities in England. We analyze yearly data from 2014/15 to 2019/20 using a dynamic panel model estimated by the Arellano-Bond estimator. We find that a £1000 increase in LTC expenditure per client increases paid production per capita by £216 in the short run and by £670 in the long run. These findings may inform policy makers interested in assessing the financial sustainability of LTC policies.
期刊介绍:
This Journal publishes articles on all aspects of health economics: theoretical contributions, empirical studies and analyses of health policy from the economic perspective. Its scope includes the determinants of health and its definition and valuation, as well as the demand for and supply of health care; planning and market mechanisms; micro-economic evaluation of individual procedures and treatments; and evaluation of the performance of health care systems.
Contributions should typically be original and innovative. As a rule, the Journal does not include routine applications of cost-effectiveness analysis, discrete choice experiments and costing analyses.
Editorials are regular features, these should be concise and topical. Occasionally commissioned reviews are published and special issues bring together contributions on a single topic. Health Economics Letters facilitate rapid exchange of views on topical issues. Contributions related to problems in both developed and developing countries are welcome.
