Essays over de economie van gezondheidsrisico en verzekering
The first general objective of this thesis is to examine if reliance on tests of consumption insurance may be misleading, in particular, when it comes to ill-health.
It approaches this by examining whether ill-health triggers different coping responses compared to other shocks and by investigating the channels of impoverishment due to ill-health.
The second general objective of the thesis is to investigate the effectiveness and potential problems of (pilot) health insurance schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
