Louis Eeckhoudt and Philippe Godfroid

Revue Économique, 2001, vol. 52, issue 1, 135-146

Abstract: [fre] Cet article vise à déterminer comment le recours aux tests diagnostiques peut affecter la demande de prévention et celle de soins. Tandis que la demande de prévention et celle de tests diagnostiques sont des substituts, la relation entre médecine diagnostique et curative est moins claire. [eng] Diagnostic medicine and the management of health risks. . In this paper we examine how diagnostic tests affect the demands both for prevention and for treatments. While diagnostic tests and primary prevention are clearly substitutes, the link between diagnostic tests and the demand for treatment is ambiguous.
