چکیده

in Dutch De zorguitgaven in de industriële landen zijn de afgelopen veertig jaar sterk gegroeid. Deze sterke groei vormt een bedreiging voor de houdbaarheid van de publieke budgetten en veroorzaakt een toenemende belangstelling voor de determinanten van de zorguitgaven. Dit paper geeft ten eerste een up-to-date overzicht van de bestaande literatuur over zorguitgaven. Daarnaast beoogt dit paper een bijdrage te leveren aan deze literatuur door het effect van verschillende factoren op de zorguitgaven in een empirische analyse te onderzoeken met behulp van een error-correctiemodel. Naast de bekende determinanten van stijgende zorguitgaven richten we ons hierbij op de invloed van de relatieve prijs van zorg. We vinden dat de stijgende relatieve prijs van zorg bijdraagt aan de stijgende zorguitgaven. Het effect van de relatieve prijs op de volumes van zorggebruik is echter negatief. Dit effect lijkt sterker te zijn in een periode van kostenbeheersing. In overeenstemming met recente onderzoeksresultaten vinden we dat inkomen en vergrijzing belangrijke determinanten zijn van de stijgende zorguitgaven. Steekwoorden: zorguitgaven, error-correctiemodel
