Choosing health
versus wealth: a laboratory survey (with Robin L. Hanson and James W. Monks), (Submitted to Health Economics. Editor requested that we resubmit in a
shortened format.) This study uses a laboratory survey to estimate consumer
preferences over stochastic health and stochastic wealth. A
contingent-valuation method is used to estimate willingness to accept cash in
lieu of a less-than-certain treatment for a hypothetical disease. In a series
of scenarios, subjects choose either Policy T (full insurance covering an
expensive treatment) or Policy C (large unfettered lump-sum cash indemnity
paid upon diagnosis). They choose Policy T more often when the treatment is
more efficacious; when choosing for loved ones rather than for themselves;
when choosing for themselves rather than for anonymous strangers and when ex
post regret over the choice is likeliest, even when no differences exist in
efficacy. [3] Consumer-Directed Health Plans (CDHPs) NCPA, Fall 2006. Defines and describes
