thesis
posted on 03.10.2017, 00:41 authored by Gerard L. GannonThis study examines the Australian Health
Insurance system to determine if economies of size/scale exist using data corresponding to the period immediately after substantial changes to the system.
A number of possible measures of output are examined, a number of possible functional forms considered and a rigorous statistical testing procedure applied. The emphasis on the testing of models is considered in the light of the small sample sizes encountered and appropriate small sample statistical tests adopted for this study.
