“Competent in competition and health” – both claim and ambition of the health economics research center CINCH in Essen.

The current public debate on health care revolves around the conflict between providing comprehensive and high-quality medical services on the one hand and curbing the costs of health care on the other.

Issues of competition in health care are therefore at the core of health economics research at CINCH, which is organized within two junior research groups and several complementary projects.

CINCH is one of the leading research centers in the field of health economics in Germany with a high performance in terms of research output.

Amongst the four national health economic research centers, CINCH has the strongest focus on economics.

CINCH is the only center conducting state of the art laboratory and experimental research in health economics.

Experimental economics is applied to analyze individual or group behavior under controlled laboratory conditions. With the help of economic experiments existing theories in health economics can be tested and, based on the experimental observations, new models of economic behavior can be developed. Moreover, economic experiments allow to testbed newly designed economic institutions like reputation schemes or physician contracts.

Health economists at CINCH are particularly concerned with preferences and behavior of providers and consumers in the health care sector, e.g. the determinants of health insurance choice or the behavioral effects of various payment schemes for physicians. The Essen Laboratory for Experimental Economics (elfe) is the perfect place to conduct such experiments.

elfe was opened in 2009 with a speech of Nobel prize winner Reinhard Selten and is since then used by local researchers as well as by visiting scholars. By now, over 350 experiments have been carried out at elfe with over 5,700 participants. The lab is compiled of 29 modern computer working places including 12 soundproof cabins that are connected through a video- and audio conference system. This excellent and unique equipment allows analyzing the interaction of economic behavior and different kinds of communication in a controlled way.

A state of the art experimental lab and a research center with a strong focus on experimental methods in health economics is a unique combination in Germany that already produced impressive scientific output to date.

CINCH intensively cooperates with RWI, one of the leading institutes for economic research and evidence-based policy advice in Germany. RWI is a member of the Leibniz Association and currently employs more than 90 persons, including almost 60 scientists. Prof. Christoph M. Schmidt, the president of the RWI and chair of the German Council of Economic Experts, is advising director of CINCH. He was ranked No. 2 in the FAZ policy relevance ranking of all economists in Germany in 2013.

The RWI institute has a long-standing expertise in health economics, applied empirical research being a major competence of its research division “health economics”. One major research field of the health division is the econometric analysis of both the supply and demand side of health care markets, first and foremost inpatient care, but also hospitals, rehab clinics, and nursing homes. The latter includes analyses of competition among sickness funds. The research division is headed by Boris Augurzky, who is among the Top 100 in the FAZ policy relevance ranking of all

economists in Germany. Boris Augurzky is involved at CINCH as a board member.

The Research Data Center Ruhr at the RWI (FDZ Ruhr), accredited by the “German Data Forum” (Rat SWD), provides different data sources, e.g., data collected for billing purposes and made available by a major German group of sickness funds (BKKs). The data cover about 13 million enrollees from about 100 BKK sickness funds for the years 2006 to 2012. They include detailed information on inpatient and outpatient health care utilisation and diagnoses by individual enrollees. It also covers individual pharmaceutical consumption. Moreover, a basic set of socioeconomic variables such as gender and age is available.

The BKK also provides administrative data coming from the German system of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). More than 50 million hospital cases of about 2,000 German hospitals are available for the years 2005 to 2007. The data comprises all inpatient cases in Germany except psychiatric ones and is originally collected for billing purposes towards health insurance companies. It includes detailed information on patient characteristics like age, gender, length of stay with admission and discharge date and status, main diagnosis, and secondary diagnoses, given with the respective ICD-10 codes. The data further contains information on the hospital level, specifically ownership type (private not-for-profit, private for-profit and public), bed capacity, and teaching status. Furthermore, ZIP-codes for each patient as well as the exact address of each hospital enable geocoding of the data.

Furthermore, RWI hosts a hospital panel covering the period from 1995 to 2013. It contains comprehensive information of German hospitals from several sources, in particular subjective and objective quality data and a rich set of structural information (e.g., number of beds, ownership type, information on mergers and acquisition, etc.). The data set also contains comprehensive information on prices and case mix indices of German hospitals.

Researchers at CINCH collaborate intensively with researchers at RWI or use the data at the “FDZ-Ruhr” for research projects. They for example analyze whether people respond to published quality data when choosing a hospital or they assess spillover effects of local crime on individual’s mental wellbeing. Moreover, CINCH and RWI researchers cooperate in the project “Demographic change in the EU, the oldest-old and the need for innovative models of more efficient elderly care” funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) – Institute.

Empirically analyses regional competition among providers and payers in the German health care system. Also studies a wide range of health policy issues related to individual health behaviors and contextual factors affecting health outcomes.

Determinants of Sickness Fund Choice in the Two-Tiered German Health Insurance Market

Attempts to empirically disentangle which factors are relevant for competition in the German Health insurance system. One focus is on which (individual and plan) characteristics determines switching between and within insurances. Another focus is on how various insurance plan incentives for forward-looking behavior affect consumption of health care.

Interdependence and Competition across and within In- and Outpatient Health Care Sectors

Empirically analyzes various competition aspects of the interconnectedness between health care providers in Germany. Regional competition between in-patient health care providers with respect to quality information and local market structure is studied. Further topics are regulations, drug prescriptions and referral behavior of physicians.

The junior research group PBPC applies the experimental method to analyze preferences and behavior of providers and consumers in the health care market.

Insurance Choice Behavior and Risk Preferences

Recent reforms try to stimulate consumer choice to increase competition and thus efficiency in the health care market. In a laboratory experiment, we analyze consumers’ tastes in typical contract attributes such as deductibles and complementary insurance and investigate their relationship with individual risk preferences according to cumulative prospect theory. Our results reveal valuable insights to individual choice behavior, which may be helpful for the future designs of health insurance choice platforms such as the Health Insurance Exchanges in the U.S.

Competition and Mergers in the Hospital Market

While the hospital markets in Europe and the U.S. have experienced substantial consolidations in recent years, little is actually known about the effects of hospital mergers on the quality of care and patient benefits. In a laboratory experiment, we analyze the impact of competitive hospital markets and hospital mergers on both, quality provision and patient benefits. Moreover, we investigate the differences between team and individual quality decisions to consider that strategic decisions in hospitals are made by a board of directors.

The project P4P applies experimental economic methods to study the behavior of actors in health care, particularly of independent physicians.

Physician Preferences

This project investigates the behavioral implications of the introduction of pay-for-performance incentives for physicians. In particular, experiments are conducted to analyze physicians’ preferences for this payment incentive and its effects on their medical performance. Moreover, these preferences are reflected in the view of competition and physicians’ personality traits concerning risk and altruism.

The Effects of Non-monetary Incentives on Provision Behavior

This project experimentally investigates the extent to which non-monetary incentives can serve as an alternative to monetary incentives. In particular, different kinds of feedback information and their effects on physician provision behavior are examined.

Regression trees in the German risk adjustment formula

Regression trees are used to detect relevant interactions between the risk factors in the German risk adjustment formula. These interactions are incorporated into the regression to enhance the performance of the risk equalization payments.

Calculation of payments for sick-pay in the German risk adjustment scheme

Different additional variables are integrated into the sick-pay formula to improve the fit of the model. Also different regression methods are evaluated regarding their performance to predict sick-pay payments.

The project CLTC empirically analyzes the German market for long-term care, in particular competition in quality and prices across nursing homes.

Quality and public reporting

Since 2008, the quality of all German nursing homes is evaluated regularly and externally and the structured information is publicly available and easily accessible. This project evaluates the change in quality over time due to this mandatory public reporting. Using two matched waves of around 2,400 nursing homes and constructing own measures of outcome quality, we can show that (reported) quality indeed increases between 2008 and 2013.

Efficiency quality and ownership

In this project we look at differences in efficiency of nursing homes across the three ownership types, where public nursing homes form a minor group (5% of all nursing homes). The main contribution lies in the comparison of two different approaches. If we use one output (number of residents or cases) in our data envelopment analysis, private nursing homes are significantly less technical efficient than non-profit nursing homes. However, if we additionally use two different quality outcomes to estimate the technical frontier, this significant difference disappears, both in terms of absolute coefficient size (ten times smaller) and in terms of the estimate's precision.
