Extensions to decomposition of the redistributive effect of health care finance
将医疗融资总再分配效应分解为垂直、水平和排序效应,并进一步将后两者分解为税率和税制结构效应,同时展示如何测量系统中各成分的效应,以加拿大数据为例说明。
The total redistributive effect (RE) of health-care finance has been decomposed into vertical, horizontal and reranking effects. The vertical effect has been further decomposed into tax rate and tax structure effects. We extend this latter decomposition to the horizontal and reranking components of the RE. We also show how to measure the vertical, horizontal and reranking effects of each component of the redistributive system, allowing analysis of the RE of health-care finance in the context of that system. The methods are illustrated with application to the RE of health-care financing in Canada.
