Do Doctors Improve the Health Care of Their Parents? Evidence from Admission Lotteries
利用荷兰医学院入学抽签数据，研究子女成为医生对父母死亡率及医疗使用的影响，发现非正式医疗资源获取并非医疗差异的重要原因。
To assess the importance of unequal access to medical expertise and services, we estimate the causal effects of having a child who is a doctor on parents' mortality and health care use. We use data from parents of almost 22,000 participants in admission lotteries to medical school in the Netherlands. Our findings indicate that informal access to medical expertise and services is not an important cause of differences in health care use and mortality.
