This paper analyses whether (environmental) socioeconomic conditions have a heterogeneous effect on the efficiency of Ecuadorian secondary public and private schools. To tackle this question, we develop a conditional order-m efficiency estimation and run non-parametric regressions to understand the effect of environmental conditions on school perfo...
This study analyses whether higher efficiency performance of Ecuadorian hospitals attracts larger inflows of interregional patients to a given hospital and assesses the existence of spatial dependence in the patient migration network. We develop an innovative two-stage approach. In the first stage, we use conditional order-m estimations to obtain r...
This study aims to assess whether Ecuadorian health reforms carried out since 2008 have affected the efficiency performance of public hospitals in the country. We contribute to the literature by shedding new light on the effects on public healthcare efficiency for developing countries when policies move toward health equity and universal coverage....
This study analyses whether the efficiency of Ecuadorian public hospitals experiences spatial dependence. We investigate whether demand variations have affected public hospitals’ efficiency performance through direct and spillover effects since the adoption of the current constitution in 2008. Our analysis exploits an innovative two-stage approach...
This study aims to analyze whether the efficiency of Ecuadorian public hospitals experiences spatial dependence. The paper explores the question of whether demand variations are affecting the public hospitals' efficiency performance through direct and spillover effects, especially after the adoption of the new constitution in 2008. We exploit a two...
Recently, public–private partnerships (PPPs) have attracted renewed attention as a valuable tool to close the gap between public services and social needs. In fact, the United Nations (UN) proposed collaboration across multiple stakeholders as one of the key goals for securing global sustainable development. Yet, PPPs remain a controversial proposi...
The aim of this study is to estimate the presence of moral hazard in the Ecuadorian health system, understood as an over-utilization of it. For this, a binomial logit model, which measures the probability of use of health services between insured and uninsured people is used. The results show evidence of moral hazard for individuals who are insured...
This paper aims to present the economic heterogeneity of Ecuador’s regions using a descriptive analysis, and also to explain its main causes and implications. In comparison to the European Union, Ecuador exhibits a much higher degree of economic heterogeneity within regions and provinces. We relate this pattern to the dynamics of the economic struc...
