Research Abstract |
My study aims to investigate the relationships among the need for inpatient care, the amount of inpatient care services provided, and money transfers to Japanese municipal hospitals from the viewpoint of vertical equity. The paper "Vertical Equity and Inequality of Allotments" revealed allotments (subsidies) per patient per day showed vertical inequity in the number of inpatients per day after taking into account the overall social welfare regarding the distribution of allotments. Inequality in the number of outpatients per physician increased in 2005 compared to previous years. This was caused by the movement of physicians following the introduction of a new in-service training system.
