Estimation of Technical and Allocative Inefficiencies in a Cost System: An Exact Maximum Likelihood Approach

open access: yes
Estimation and decomposition of overall (economic) efficiency into technical and allocative components goes back to Farrell (1957). However, in a cross-sectional framework joint econometric estimation of efficiency components has been mostly confined to ...

Addressing Economic Insecurities Can Improve Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Lupus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Economic insecurities, such as food, housing, transportation, and financial challenges, are modifiable risk factors and influence patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined the following: (1) associations between economic insecurities and PROs, and (2) the impact of screening and addressing economic ...
