Regional public health care spending in Switzerland : an empirical analysis

Crivelli, Luca ; Filippini, Massimo

In this study we attempt to explain variations across the Swiss regional states (cantons) in public health care expenditures. The large autonomy of the cantons in the organization and financing of health care services creates strong heterogeneity.

Pur avendo di fronte una nazione che, per dimensioni, è paragonabile ad un “Länder" tedesco o ad una regione italiana, non è infatti corretto parlare di sistema sanitario elvetico, quanto piuttosto di 26 sub-sistemi cantonali,...
