Justine Roehmel

There is a growing debate in Europe that social insurance, while necessary, has become increasingly unaffordable. Ms. R hmel hopes to contribute positively to this debate by measuring the efficiency and productivity of German hospitals and identifying sources of variation. She will examine whether we can associate differences in the determinants of efficiency with differently structured health care markets. While at Yale she will compare efficiency of German hospitals with that of American hospitals. The overall aim of her project is to come up with compelling health policy reform recommendations.
