| Summary: | This paper presents an analysis of some issues related to the
corruption and performance of services in the public health. Reform of public
health is a complex and lengthy process, which involves different types of institutions
and individuals. In this paper, starting from a set of hypotheses, we
define a simultaneous equations model to analyze some important issues related
to the progress of the reform process in the public health system. This
model contains equations regarding the quality of reform in the public health
system, the role played by different factors in increasing of the transparency of
decisions in the public health system, estimations of the influence of some factors
from the public health system in increasing the health education of the
population, factors related to corruption and nonacademic behavior in the
public health system contributing to the implementation of the reform process
in the system and improvement of the quality of the medical act. Parameters
estimates have been done through procedures implemented in EViews. Applying
Hausman test we compare the results for cases in which the parameters
are estimated by the least squares method and the two stages least squares
method. |
