36
Q

If you change the demand

A

the entire curve shifts

37
Q

Must distinguish between terms

A

Change in quantity demanded is different than change in demand (curve)

38
Q

Change in quantity demanded

A

moves along the demand curve from point A to point B

39
Q

Change in demand

A

is when the entire curve shifts (ex: from left to right)

40
Q

Factors that change the demand environment

A
  1. Prices of related goods
  2. Financial income of the consumer
  3. Number of consumers in the market
  4. Attitudes, tasted and preferences of the consumer
  5. Consumer expectations with respect to future prices and incomes
41
Q

Substitutes

A

Prices of one good is directly related to the demand for another
(beef and chicken / coffee and tea)

42
Q

Complements

A

Price of one good is inversely related to the demand for another
(printers and toner cartridges)

43
Q

Superior Goods (or normal)

A
  • Demand increases for a good as income rises

Luxury cars, second homes

44
Q

Inferior Goods

A

Demand decreases for a good as income rises

used cars, store brands

45
Q

Law of Supply

A

as the price individuals are willing to pay for a product increases, more of the product will be supplied to the market. The quantity and price have a direct relationship. As quantity increases so will the price and vice vera

46
Q

Factors that change supply environment

A
  1. Techniques of production, including technology
  2. Number of sellers in the market
  3. Resource costs (material and wages)
  4. Prices for related goods
  5. Sellers’ expectations
47
Q

Joint Products

A

Goods that are almost always produced together

Beef and leather

48
Q

Market of equilibrium Price

A

price where the demand curve and supply curve intersect

49
Q

Elasticity

A

measures the responsiveness of consumer demands to a change of price
- sellers can maximize their revenue by decreasing price

50
Q

Elasticity

A

If price increases, revenue decreases. Inverse relationsjip

51
Q

Inelasticity

A

if price increases, revenue also increases

52
Q

Unitray

A

not found in any markets

53
Q

The more substitutes for a product

A

the more elastic the demand

54
Q

A purchase that accounts for a large portion of a persons income

A

will be more elastic than the demand of relatively inexpensive one

55
Q

Four types of market structure

A
  1. Perfect competition
  2. Monopolistic Competition
  3. Oligopoly
  4. Monopoly
56
Q

Perfect Competition

A
  • Many buyers and sellers
  • Freedom of entry and exit
  • Standardized products
  • Full and free info
  • No collusion
57
Q

Many buyers and sellers

A
  • number of buyers and sellers must be large enough
  • companies do not set prices, the market does
  • the demand curve is perfectly elastic where is a firm increased its prices, it would lose all its revenue bc other people would buy from a different firm
58
Q

No collusion

A
  • Firms compete against each other rather than get together to set prices
  • more likely if there are fewer sellers so that they can influence one another
59
Q

Monopoly

A
  • one seller of a product with no close substitutes

- maximize revenue by restricting supply and increasing price

60
Q

Monopsony

A

one buyer

61
Q

Monopolistic competition

A
  • similar to perfect competition, except no standardized and interchangeable products
  • firms rely on product differentiation
62
Q

Oligopoly

A

fewer sellers and many buyers

- firms are frequently interdependant

63
Q

The Health Care Market

A
  • not a perfectly competitive market bc :
  • numbers of buyers and sellers
  • entry to and exit from market
  • variation in products, services and quality
  • full and free information
  • inelastic demand (prices increased so has demand)
  • universal demand bc healthcare is used by all
64
Q

Moral Hazard

A

decreasing patients out of pocket expenses, demand and consumption are increased
Ex: You want a ferrari and someone says they’ll pay 90% of it so you will get the car bc your out of pocket cost wont be as much

65
Q

Utilization

A

based on population effects, duration of treatment and intensity of services

66
Q

Value

A

(Quality/Cost) * Quantity

67
Q

Hospital Insurance

A

An insurance decreased financial barriers to hospital care, demand for care (and hospital beds) increased

68
Q

1930

A

Large medical group practice in LA started a plan to cover physician services

69
Q

1939

A

California Medical Association established the first “Blue Shield” to facilitate payment for medical services (reimbursed a %)

70
Q

Major Medical Insurance

A

by the 1950s, most employee health plans were accepted

71
Q

Indemnity Insurance

A

Reimbursement of a percentage of expenses to subscribers rather than direct payment to providers
Drawbacks: patients had to save receipts, fill out forms, and it was expensive for insurance companies to process

72
Q

Fee for service

A

A set amount of money was paid in order to receive the service provided

73
Q

Private Insurance

A

Supported and reinforced existing patterns of health services
Neglected: prevention and there’s care for those not covered

74
Q

More utilization resulted in

A

more revenue

Ex: more MD office visits and lab tests increases revenue

75
Q

3rd Party Payer

A

May suggest that there are only three parties involved but its far more complicated
- Many stakeholders like:
Patients, Employers, Unions, Insurance companies, Providers, Government

76
Q

Actuarial Analysis

A

a statistical analysis of the population served and an estimate of the necessary income to cover the estimated expenses

77
Q

PMPM

A

Per member per month

- Necessary income to cover expenses

78
Q

Purpose of Insurance

A
  • to help individuals and business manage certain types of unanticipated risk (ex: serious injury, premature death)
79
Q

Premium

A

paid by all participants for protection against a larger unknown lose

80
Q

Catastrophic hazards

A
  • events that if covered would exceed the company’s ability to pay
  • companies limit their exposure by avoiding insuring large numbers of policyholders in the same geographic area
  • this is probably a preventative measure just in case their is a catastrophe and they will have to pay out a lot of money
81
Q

Adverse selection

A

getting insurance right before you need it and dropping it when recovered
- raises premium for policyholders

82
Q

Supplier-induced demand

A

a person paid for a service determines how often the service is provided- potential conflict of interest

83
Q

The insurance problem of moral hazard is directly related to which economic principle

A

Demand because as the price goes down, the demand increases and this is the concept of moral hazard

84
Q

Coverage Limitations

A
  • limitations may be placed on how much or how often it will be reimbursed
  • this allows insurance companies to avoid adverse selections and minimize costs
85
Q

Coordination of Benefits

A

when a loss is covered by two or more insurance plans in order to limit total reimbursement to the amount of the loss

86
Q

Copayment

A

a specified amount every time a service is received, most common type of cost sharing

87
Q

Deductible

A

patient pays of out pocket a specified amount periodically (annually) before the plan even kicks in

88
Q

Co-insurance

A

patient pays a specified fixed percentage of a service (usually 20%)
