Topic:  " Measuring the effect of coinsurance rate on healthcare expenditure: a finite mixture and matching estimator approach " 

http://www.eea-esem.com/EEA-ESEM/2014/prog/viewpaper.asp?pid=184

The paper proposes a combination of finite mixture generalized linear models and matching estimators to account for heterogeneous and nonlinear effects of the coinsurance rate on healthcare expenditure. We use generalized linear models with different distribution families, and measure the conditional average treatment effect of a rise in the coinsurance rate in each component of the model. The estimations with panel data for Japanese female consumers in 2000-2008 demonstrate the presence of two subpopulations with high and low healthcare expenditure, and subpopulation membership is explained by lifestyle variables. Conditional average treatment effect estimations reveal the existence of nonlinear effects of the coinsurance rate in each subpopulation.
