Efficiency in the governance of the Covid-19 pandemic: political and territorial factors

Pedro-Jose Martinez-Cordoba et al.

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to global citizens' way of life, with different national responses leading to varying levels of efficiency in managing health resources. Countries in Europe and America are found to be less efficient compared to Asian and African countries, with factors such as freedom of expression, female leadership, rule of law, and tourism revenue impacting management efficiency. Political leaders are encouraged to reflect on their management during the pandemic and improve resource allocation within budget constraints.

The Efficiency of New Zealand District Health Boards in Administrating Public Funds: An Application of Bootstrap DEA and Beta Regression

Antony Andrews

Summary: This study evaluates the technical efficiency of New Zealand District Health Boards in providing hospital services using quarterly data from 2011 to 2018. The results show that the efficiency levels have not improved since 2011, with most poor performing DHBs operating in high socio-economic deprivation areas. Increasing capital to labour ratio is found to improve technical efficiency, suggesting the need for policymakers to focus on capital investments in critical technology and capacity development for long-term efficiency performance improvement in high-deprivation areas.

Panel Survey Estimation of the Impact of Urbanization in China: Does Level of Urbanization Affect Healthcare Expenditure, Utilization or Healthcare Seeking Behavior?

Lu Shi et al.

Summary: With the rapid urbanization in China over the past three decades, there have been significant impacts on healthcare utilization, expenditure, and seeking behavior. Increased urbanization leads to higher treatment costs and out-of-pocket expenses, while also changing general healthcare seeking behavior. However, inpatient seeking behavior remains unaffected by urbanization. Additionally, both the level of urbanization and health insurance have significant effects on healthcare expenditure, utilization, and seeking behaviors.
