| Research Abstract |
The study empirically examines the decision making between elderly and municipalities in the long-term care(LTC) market and the insurance system in Japan. Moreover, I consider of the ideal way of the LTC insurance system.
For a demand side, I estimated "Welfare migration" that elderly moves to municipalities with abundant LTC facilities by gender and age group. The result shows that the late-stage female elderly played a leading part of the welfare migration and the movement depraves the situation at the migration destination. For a insurance side, I investigated a series of research about LTC premium setting by municipalities. The results are that municipalities tend to set their premium referring to the premium level of the surrounding municipalities. Moreover, two studies empirically consider municipality amalgamation and free-ride behavior about LTC premium setting and eligibility assessments by examining municipality behavior before amalgamation.
