J. Statistical Inference of Progressivity Dominance: An Application to Health Care
Financing Distributions. Journal of Health Economics, 2001, 20(3):363-77. Abstract: This paper employs a
distribution-free statistical test suitable for comparisons based on dependent samples to
analyse changes in health care financing distributions on Finnish data. In distinction to
the more general summary index approach used in most studies of progressivity measurement,
the difference between the Lorenz curve of income inequality and the concentration curves
of various taxes and payments is used to evaluate progressivity dominance and changes in
progressivity. Sample weights are applied to account for the effect of sampling design and
non-response. The analysis demonstrates that the dominance approach can be successfully
applied to various types of distributional problems besides comparisons concerning
differences in income distributions. As an empirical application the paper presents
estimation results for the progressivity of various health care financing sources using
data from the 1987 and 1996 Finnish Health Care Surveys.

finance of health care: some further international comparisons. Journal of Health
Economics, 1999, 18(3):263-90. Abstract: This
paper presents further international comparisons of progressivity of health care financing
systems. The paper builds on the work of Wagstaff et al. [Wagstaff, A., van Doorslaer E.,
et al., 1992. Equity in the finance of health care: some international comparisons,
Journal of Health Economics 11, pp. 361--387] but extends it in a number of directions: we
modify the methodology used there and achieve a higher degree of cross-country
comparability in variable definitions; we update and extend the cross-section of
countries; and we present evidence on trends in financing mixes and progressivity.
