The predominate technical approach is econometric, using panel
regression. An operations research technique called data envelopment
analysis (DEA) is also used to a limited extent. The regression
technique is applied to annual data on 16 OECD countries from 1981 to
2003. Click here to view this paper as an Adobe Acrobat PDF. H. E. Frech III is a professor of economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The
OECD has undertaken an ambitious large-scale statistical analysis of
the determinants of health and the relative efficiency of the health
care systems of various OECD member countries (Jourmard, André, Nicq
and Chatal 2008). The Report makes a useful contribution to a
continuing stream of literature that focuses on health outcomes, rather
than cost. While the primary emphasis of the Report is on new
statistical analysis, it includes a valuable, though spotty, literature
review.
