Abstract: The theory of consumer’s choice is nowadays successfully used in the analysis of health economics. Reflections on economical character of health indicate clearly that without adequate support, once characteristic for fields such as: marketing, management, econometrics and economics, it is not possible to make rational decisions within the context of limited resources. The patient – consumer of health services, constantly face with the dilemma of choice regarding to the means of treatment, place of treatment, etc. The main aim of this article is to use multinomial logit modelling as a method for measuring the willingness to pay for medical services. Results of analyses allow identifying the regional differences in levels of selection probabilities and their spatial diversification of different categories of services among Polish subregions. On the basis of measures of global and local spatial autocorrelation it was possible to identify areas, which were favorable/unfavorable to be introduced with the benefit. Keywords: health economics, additional health insurance, willingness to pay, co-payment, logit multinomial regression, spatial autocorrelation.

Keywords: health economics; additional health insurance; willingness to pay; co-payment; logit multinomial regression; spatial autocorrelation (search for similar items in EconPapers)
