Description

Gain deep insights into the economics of elder care with The Nursing Home Market: Supply and Demand for the Elderly. Part of the Garland Studies on the Elderly in America series, this Routledge publication offers a detailed look at the factors influencing nursing home utilization. Unlike many previous studies, this work utilizes a nationally representative sample to provide a more accurate picture of the American landscape. This study focuses on how both supply and price impact the care decisions of the elderly. By modeling these specific effects, the book provides an estimation of the price elasticity of demand for nursing home care. It is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and medical social sciences who need to understand the economic drivers behind long-term care services.
