As part of studies that employ health electronic records databases, this paper advocates the employment of graph theory for investigating drug-switching behaviors.

Medical and long-term care with endogenous health and longevity

Schünemann, Johannes ; Strulik, Holger ; Trimborn, Timo

(Working Papers SES ; 505 (revised))

In this paper, we distinguish between medical care, intended to improve one›s state of health, and personal care required for daily routine. Personal care can be either carried out autonomously or by a third party. In the course of aging, autonomous personal care is...
