SUMMARY:Fachvortrag „End-of-life healthcare expenditure: testing economic
  explanations using a discrete choice experiment“
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare expenditure (HCE) spent during an individual’s las
 t year of life accounts for a high share of lifetime HCE. This finding is 
 puzzling because an investment in health is unlikely to have a sufficientl
 y long payback period. However\, Becker et al. (2007) and Philipson et al.
  (2010) have advanced a theory designed to explain high willingness to pay
  (WTP) for an extension of life close to its end.\n\nTheir testable implic
 ations are complemented by the concept of ‘pain of risk bearing’ intro
 duced by Eeckhoudt and Schlesinger (2006). They are tested using a discret
 e choice experiment performed in 2014\, involving 1\,529 Swiss adults. An 
 individual setting where the price attribute is substantial out-of-pocket 
 payment for a novel drug for treatment of terminal cancer is distinguished
  from a societal one\, where it is an increase in contributions to social 
 health insurance. Most of the economic predictions receive empirical suppo
 rt.\n\nVortragender:\nProfessor em. Dr. Peter Zweifel\, Universität Züri
