Consultation médicale. L'influence du revenu et de l'assurance complémentaire
No full textWe analyze the income effect on the probability of visiting a doctor from a french survey. We show that forpeople with low income this probability is increasing with income, even if they have a private Insurance.Nous analysons l'impact du revenu sur la probabilité d'avoir une consultation médicale à partir de l'Enquête Santé 1991-1992. Nous montrons que l'accès aux soins reste plus difficile pour les personnes ayant un faible revenu même si elles disposent d'une assurance complémentaire.Piaser Gwenaël, Raynaud Denis.

La régulation de la demande de soins : le rôle de l’assurance maladie dans la formation de la consommation de biens et services de santé
No full textThe regulation of health care demand : health insurance and the frame of individual health expenses
According to the « moral hazard » hypothesis, a health insurance scheme which provides a high level of compensation of health expenditures offsets any incentive for individuals to restrain their resort to the health care system. Most of those studies find a strong and positive correlation between the size of the health insurance coverage and the amount of health expenditures. According to new figures that we also report, the gap between average ambulatory health expenditures of individuals who own a private supplementary health insurance scheme and of those who benefit only from the public health insurance scheme is estimated by + 29%. Part of this gap relies on the improvement of the health insurance coverage of low income people who entered the CMU. However, these outcomes bring a ground for policies which aim at monitoring the health care demand, using an adequate regulation of the reimbursement provided by the public and private insurance schemes.
JEL classification : I11, I18Selon la théorie du « risque moral », un haut degré d'assurance, en garantissant aux assurés la stabilité de leur niveau de vie lorsqu'ils tombent malades quel que soit le niveau de leurs dépenses de soins, les dissuade de recourir modérément au système de santé. Cet article rappelle les résultats des plus significatifs de ces études. Nous présentons enfin de nouveaux résultats pour la France qui évaluent à + 29 % l'écart relatif moyen entre les dépenses de soins ambulatoires des personnes disposant d'une couverture complémentaire et celles bénéficiant seulement des remboursements de la Sécurité sociale. Une part de cet écart est imputable à la diminution des renoncements aux soins des personnes à revenus modestes qui bénéficient de la CMU complémentaire. Cependant, ces résultats apportent un fondement à des politiques visant à orienter la demande de soins à l'aide d'une régulation appropriée du remboursement.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
