We run a laboratory experiment to investigate how group size affects coordination in a bank-run game, in which participants choose simultaneously whether to withdraw or not and group members change over time.

Within each BMI class, the presence of impaired fasting glucose, and to a greater extent diabetes mellitus, identified subgroups of individuals with a marked increase in the risk of concomitant chronic conditions.

Our findings show that compared to normo-weight patients, the obese generate the largest cost differential over the entire life cycle, while the overweight spends less than the normo-weight, mainly because of savings generated starting from early middle age onward

Data relative to 991,917 adults were analyzed. Annual per capita expenditure rose from 252.2 Euro among individuals with normal weight to 752.9 Euro among those with class 3 obesity

We study the interplay between mobility, measured with anonymized mobile phone data, and mental health and report no significant effect of mobility restrictions on antidepressants and anxiolytics purchases in 2020.

Our results document that harsh economic downturns have a negative long-lasting effect on cardiovascular disease and a temporary effect on depression

Using the Future Elderly Model, we simulate longevity and disability over the remaining lifetime for cohorts of older Europeans and Americans. We see that investment in both treatment and prevention for chronic conditions couls lead to major gains in Life Expectancy

The surge in cardiovascular and metabolic noncommunicable diseases coincides with marked lifestyle and environmental transformations, underscoring the need to investigate the complex environmental contributors to these disorders.

We find that the prevalence of main chronic conditions in Europe is catching‐up with the United States and significant heterogeneity in the evolution of gender and educational gradients

The positive productivity growth over the full period in both countries reflects output growth being faster than input growth over much of the period considered

Prevalence of multiple chronic diseases and healthcare utilization increased among older and younger adults between 2004 and 2014

xsmle allows for a wide set of fixed- and random-effects spatial models for balanced panel data. Unbalanced panels can be handled using its full compatibility with the mi suite of commands. Spatial weight matrices can be Stata matrices and spmat objects

In this very large study, 557,145 men and women older than 18 years were analyzed to assess the association between aging, excessive adiposity and health costs

We partition the standard contiguity matrix in two matrices (within and between), disentangling the overall spatial effect and deriving testable implications. In the application we study expenditures from the Italian Local Health Authority using spatial panel
