Mission Statement
 “Competent in competition and health” – both claim and ambition of the health
economics research center CINCH in Essen.
 The current public debate on health care revolves around the conflict between
providing comprehensive and high-quality medical services on the one hand and
curbing the costs of health care on the other.
 Issues of competition in health care are therefore at the core of health economics
research at CINCH, which is organized within two junior research groups and
several complementary projects.
 CINCH is one of the leading research centers in the field of health economics in
Germany with a high performance in terms of research output.
 Amongst the four national health economic research centers, CINCH has the
strongest focus on economics.
 CINCH is the only center conducting state of the art laboratory and
experimental research in health economics.

Essen Laboratory for Experimental Economics
Experimental economics is applied to analyze
individual or group behavior under controlled
laboratory conditions. With the help of economic
experiments existing theories in health economics can
be tested and, based on the experimental observations,
new models of economic behavior can be developed.
Moreover, economic experiments allow to testbed
newly designed economic institutions like reputation
schemes or physician contracts.
Health economists at CINCH are particularly
concerned with preferences and behavior of
providers and consumers in the health care
sector, e.g. the determinants of health insurance
choice or the behavioral effects of various
payment schemes for physicians. The Essen
Laboratory for Experimental Economics (elfe) is
the perfect place to conduct such experiments.
elfe was opened in 2009 with a speech of Nobel
prize winner Reinhard Selten and is since then
used by local researchers as well as by visiting
scholars. By now, over 350 experiments have been
carried out at elfe with over 5,700 participants.
The lab is compiled of 29 modern computer
working places including 12 soundproof cabins
that are connected through a video- and audio
conference system. This excellent and unique equipment allows analyzing the
interaction of economic behavior and different kinds of communication in a
controlled way.
A state of the art experimental lab and a research center with a strong focus on
experimental methods in health economics is a unique combination in Germany
that already produced impressive scientific output to date.

RWI - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für
Wirtschaftsforschung
CINCH intensively cooperates with RWI, one of the
leading institutes for economic research and evidencebased policy advice in Germany. RWI is a member of the
Leibniz Association and currently employs more than 90 persons, including almost
60 scientists. Prof. Christoph M. Schmidt, the president of the RWI and chair of
the German Council of Economic Experts, is advising director of CINCH. He was
ranked No. 2 in the FAZ policy relevance ranking of all economists in Germany in
2013.
Quelle: RWI/ J. Bracht
The RWI institute has a long-standing expertise
in health economics, applied empirical research
being a major competence of its research division
“health economics”. One major research field of
the health division is the econometric analysis of
both the supply and demand side of health care
markets, first and foremost inpatient care, but
also hospitals, rehab clinics, and nursing homes.
The latter includes analyses of competition
among sickness funds. The research division is
Christoph M. Schmidt
President of RWI &
headed by Boris Augurzky, who is among the Top
Advising Director at CINCH
100 in the FAZ policy relevance ranking of all
economists in Germany. Boris Augurzky is involved at CINCH as a board member.
The Research Data Center Ruhr at the RWI (FDZ Ruhr), accredited by the
“German Data Forum” (Rat SWD), provides different data sources, e.g., data
collected for billing purposes and made available by a major German group of
sickness funds (BKKs). The data cover about 13 million enrollees from about 100
BKK sickness funds for the years 2006 to 2012. They include detailed information
on inpatient and outpatient health care utilisation and diagnoses by individual
enrollees. It also covers individual pharmaceutical consumption. Moreover, a basic
set of socioeconomic variables such as gender and age is available.
9
Quelle: RWI/ J. Bracht
The BKK also provides administrative data coming from the German system of
diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). More than 50 million hospital cases of about
2,000 German hospitals are available for the years 2005 to 2007. The data comprises
all inpatient cases in Germany except psychiatric ones and is originally collected
for billing purposes towards health insurance
companies. It includes detailed information on
patient characteristics like age, gender, length of
stay with admission and discharge date and status,
main diagnosis, and secondary diagnoses, given
with the respective ICD-10 codes. The data
further contains information on the hospital level,
specifically ownership type (private not-forprofit, private for-profit and public), bed capacity,
and teaching status. Furthermore, ZIP-codes for
Boris Augurzky
each patient as well as the exact address of each
Chief of Research Division “Health Economics” at RWI & CINCH Board Member
hospital enable geocoding of the data.
Furthermore, RWI hosts a hospital panel covering the period from 1995 to 2013.
It contains comprehensive information of German hospitals from several sources,
in particular subjective and objective quality data and a rich set of structural
information (e.g., number of beds, ownership type, information on mergers and
acquisition, etc.). The data set also contains comprehensive information on prices
and case mix indices of German hospitals.
Researchers at CINCH collaborate intensively with researchers at RWI or use the
data at the “FDZ-Ruhr” for research projects. They for example analyze whether
people respond to published quality data when choosing a hospital or they assess
spillover effects of local crime on individual’s mental wellbeing. Moreover, CINCH
and RWI researchers cooperate in the project “Demographic change in the EU, the
oldest-old and the need for innovative models of more efficient elderly care”
funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) – Institute.

Determinants of Sickness Fund Choice in the Two-Tiered German Health
Insurance Market
Attempts to empirically disentangle which factors are relevant for competition in
the German Health insurance system. One focus is on which (individual and plan)
characteristics determines switching between and within insurances. Another
focus is on how various insurance plan incentives for forward-looking behavior
affect consumption of health care.
Interdependence and Competition across and within In- and Outpatient Health
Care Sectors
Empirically analyzes various competition aspects of the interconnectedness
between health care providers in Germany. Regional competition between inpatient health care providers with respect to quality information and local market
structure is studied. Further topics are regulations, drug prescriptions and referral
behavior of physicians.

Preferences and Behavior of Providers and
Consumers in Health Care Markets (PBPC)

Insurance Choice Behavior and Risk Preferences
Recent reforms try to stimulate consumer choice to increase competition and thus
efficiency in the health care market. In a laboratory experiment, we analyze
consumers’ tastes in typical contract attributes such as deductibles and
complementary insurance and investigate their relationship with individual risk
preferences according to cumulative prospect theory. Our results reveal valuable
insights to individual choice behavior, which may be helpful for the future designs
of health insurance choice platforms such as the Health Insurance Exchanges in
the U.S.
Competition and Mergers in the Hospital Market
While the hospital markets in Europe and the U.S. have experienced substantial
consolidations in recent years, little is actually known about the effects of hospital
mergers on the quality of care and patient benefits. In a laboratory experiment, we
analyze the impact of competitive hospital markets and hospital mergers on both,
quality provision and patient benefits. Moreover, we investigate the differences
between team and individual quality decisions to consider that strategic decisions
in hospitals are made by a board of directors.
19
Pay for Performance (P4P)
The project P4P applies experimental economic methods to study the behavior of
actors in health care, particularly of independent physicians.

Physician Preferences
This project investigates the behavioral implications of the introduction of pay-forperformance incentives for physicians. In particular, experiments are conducted to
analyze physicians’ preferences for this payment incentive and its effects on their
medical performance. Moreover, these preferences are reflected in the view of
competition and physicians’ personality traits concerning risk and altruism.
The Effects of Non-monetary Incentives on Provision Behavior
This project experimentally investigates the extent to which non-monetary
incentives can serve as an alternative to monetary incentives. In particular,
different kinds of feedback information and their effects on physician provision
behavior are examined.

Regression trees in the German risk adjustment formula
Regression trees are used to detect relevant interactions between the risk factors in
the German risk adjustment formula. These interactions are incorporated into the
regression to enhance the performance of the risk equalization payments.
Calculation of payments for sick-pay in the German risk adjustment scheme
Different additional variables are integrated into the sick-pay formula to improve
the fit of the model. Also different regression methods are evaluated regarding their
performance to predict sick-pay payments.
21
Competition in Long-Term Care (CLTC)
The project CLTC empirically analyzes the German market for long-term care, in
particular competition in quality and prices across nursing homes.
Annika Herr
Project leader

Amela Šarić
Quality and public reporting
Since 2008, the quality of all German nursing homes is evaluated regularly and
externally and the structured information is publicly available and easily accessible.
This project evaluates the change in quality over time due to this mandatory public
reporting. Using two matched waves of around 2,400 nursing homes and
constructing own measures of outcome quality, we can show that (reported)
quality indeed increases between 2008 and 2013.
Efficiency quality and ownership
In this project we look at differences in efficiency of nursing homes across the three
ownership types, where public nursing homes form a minor group (5% of all
nursing homes). The main contribution lies in the comparison of two different
approaches. If we use one output (number of residents or cases) in our data
envelopment analysis, private nursing homes are significantly less technical
efficient than non-profit nursing homes. However, if we additionally use two
different quality outcomes to estimate the technical frontier, this significant
difference disappears, both in terms of absolute coefficient size (ten times smaller)
and in terms of the estimate's precision.
