Early exit: Estimating and explaining early exit from drug treatment

BACKGROUND Early exit (drop-out) from drug treatment can mean that drug users do not derive the full benefits that treatment potentially offers. Additionally, it may mean that scarce treatment resources are used inefficiently. Understanding the factors that lead to early exit from treatment should enable services to operate more effectively and better reduce drug related harm. To date, few stud...

We study the exit of hospitals from the market for inpatient services. More generous hospital reimbursement significantly reduces the probability of exit throughout the 1990s. Conditional on reimbursement levels, hospital efficiency was not a significant determinant in the early 1990s but in the midto late 1990s, less efficient hospitals were significantly more likely to exit. Throughout the pe...

Exit Options

This paper analyzes bilateral contracting in an environment with contractual incompleteness and asymmetric information. One party (the seller) makes an unverifiable quality choice and the other party (the buyer) has private information about its valuation. A simple deterministic exit option contract, which allows the buyer to refuse trade, achieves the first–best in the benchmark cases where ei...

EXIT Charts

With wide applications of Turbo Principle in communications engineering, the EXIT Charts (Extrinsic Information Transfer Charts) has been a powerful tool to visualize the convergence behavior of iterative decoding process based on mutual information. Within this report, an introduction to EXIT Charts, its background, properties and applications are presented to allow the audience be familiar wi...
