| 摘要 | This paper uses a hybrid cost model to identify determinants of cost variation among programs that offer early intervention services to people living with HIV/AIDS. The model combines the effects of input price and output volume from traditional economic cost functions with institutional factors based on program and patient characteristics on the cost of providing primary medical care. The impact of economic factors conforms to conventional theory and reveals the potential for cost savings through greater economies of scale and substitutability of low-cost for high-cost labor inputs. Similarly, programs that use staff more efficiently and share an affiliation with other organizations exhibit lower costs than more labor intensive and non-affiliated providers. In addition, patient characteristics are equally important cost determinants. |
