Asymmetric Information With Multiple Risks: The Case of the Chilean Private Health Insurance Market

Health Economics, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 712-729, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We extend the Rothshild and Stiglitz (1976) model to two sources of risk –inpatient and outpatient risk– to better proxy real‐world health insurance markets. We uncover an interesting theoretical possibility: Take individuals A and B, who are low risks in, say, the inpatient dimension but A is riskier in the outpatient dimension.

Review Article: Targeting Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptors in Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 9, Page 1215-1235, May 2026.
Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have emerged as important second‐line treatments in primary biliary cholangitis, with profiles influenced by different selectivity for α‐, δ‐ and γ‐isoforms. PPAR‐α and PPAR‐δ agonism improve cholestasis, with inflammation reduced via all isoforms. PPAR‐δ agonism also reduces pruritus.
