Sommario/riassunto

Moral hazard-the tendency to change behavior when the cost of that behavior will be borne by others-is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow's seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and Amy Finkelstein-recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on the topic-here examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy. Drawing on research from both the original RAND Health Insurance Experiment and her own research, including a 2008 Health Insurance Experiment in Oregon, Finkelstein presents compelling



evidence that health insurance does indeed affect medical spending and encourages policy solutions that acknowledge and account for this. The volume also features commentaries and insights from other renowned economists, including an introduction by Joseph P. Newhouse that provides context for the discussion, a commentary from Jonathan Gruber that considers provider-side moral hazard, and reflections from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2020, which was due to be held in Tampa, Florida, USA, in May 2020. The conference was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 24 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers present current developments in language theory, formal languages, automata theory and related areas, such as algorithmic, combinatorial, and algebraic properties of words and languages, cellular automata, algorithms on words, etc.
