摘要

本文研究了在应对信息冲击时放弃技术的问题。虽然人们对新技术的扩散进行了广泛的研究，但对导致放弃的因素还没有很好的了解。这在医疗保健部门尤为重要，因为遏制低价值技术的过度使用是医疗保健部门的优先事项。使用废弃肺动脉导管（PAC）作为经验应用，我们旨在了解当技术无效的信息可用时人类的行为模式。本研究的重点是同伴互动在解释医疗技术放弃中的作用。我们发现，外科医生会改变他们对PACs的使用，以应对那些直接从心胸外科奖学金中加入医院的新外科医生。

Does Bad News Travel Faster? On the Determinants of Medical Technology Abandonment

This paper studies the abandonment of technology in reaction to information shocks. While the diffusion of new technologies has been widely researched, the factors driving abandonment are not well understood. This is particularly important in the health care sector, where curbing overuse of low-value technologies is a priority. Using the abandonment of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) as an empirical application, we aim to understand patterns of human behavior when information that a technology is ineffective becomes available. This study focuses on the role of peer interaction in explaining medical technology abandonment. We find that surgeons alter their use of PACs in response to that of new surgeons who joined their hospitals directly from a fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery.

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
