| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the causal effects of yardstick competition amplifying the electoral expenditure cycle and accelerating the geographic expansion of free healthcare by using the exogenously varied timing of mayoral elections in Japanese municipalities as an instrumental variable. Additionally, we estimate the deadweight loss caused by the inefficiency of free pediatric healthcare, which is said to lead to excessive medical treatment due to zero patient burden, as amplified by this effect.
