摘要

In this dissertation I introduce a mechanism that provides optimal incentives to consumers who choose from multiple types of publicly subsidized health insurance. In the first chapter, I propose a scheme in which consumers choose either a default public insurance product, or from a set of insurance products offered by private insurers. A consumer who opts out of public insurance pays a “fee,” which can be positive or negative. Consumers are randomly assigned to “supervisors.” A supervisor chooses a separate fee for each private insurance product, which is paid by her consumers who choose that particular product. The supervisors are rewarded according to the Relative Taxpayer Surplus (RTS) Mechanism. This mechanism induces the supervisors to set fees in a way that in turn creates the correct incentives for consumers and private producers of insurance. If the supply of health insurance is perfectly competitive, and if consumers, producers, and supervisors have the same information about consumers' health prospects, then insurance is allocated and produced efficiently. In the second chapter I use data from a survey of elderly Americans to quantify the effect of private insurance their public insurance on their health care utilization. I find that this supplemental insurance increases utilization, which likely increases the cost of the public insurance. I then show how the RTS Mechanism can be employed so that supervisors provide the correct incentives to the elderly who purchase supplemental insurance. In the third chapter I adapt the RTS Mechanism such that the supervisors set fees for multiple types of publicly produced health insurance. I conclude by discussing how the privatization scheme can be applied to other types of social insurance.
