I have data on the average health care expenditure of insurance companies by age and gender in the Czech Republic for the years 2000–2017 provided by the Czech Statistical Office and I'm also looking for more specific data from the Czech Ministry of Finance (MFČR). I will be comparing these with models utilizing the methodology used by MFČR described in the paper by Bělohradský (2018). This method predicts healthcare by multiplying age specific expenditure from the previous year with GDP per capita change and its elasticity. This is then multiplied by excess cost growth variable, which contains information about technology growth, the development of relative prices and relative growth of wages in the medical sector compared to other parts of the economy. The values for GDP elasticity and excess growth variable are taken from MFČR with multiple possible scenarios such as convergence to zero.
The values of the previous year are also reduced by the change in life expectancy from the previous year multiplied by the difference between previous year expenditure for the people of the same age and the previous year expenditure for those younger by one year. This should reflect the adjustment for people being healthier at the same age in successive years. To control by how much the change of life expectancy affects the expenditure value it is multiplied by 1-ρ. This factor is to be estimated against the real expenditure profiles in different scenarios to answer the hypothesis. ρ can obtain values between zero and one, with 0 denotating compression of morbidity, or pure healthy ageing hypothesis, that makes all the increased life expectancy is lived through in perfect health and 1 indicating an expansion of morbidity when the expenditure profile remains the same as all additional years are lived in disability. |
