| Tiivistelmä: | This study is the first one to estimate price elasticities of demand for convalescent care programmes. In 1997, the German legislature more than doubled the dairy co-payments for the publicly insured from 6 to 13. The measure caused the overall demand for convalescent care treatments to go down by 20 to 25%. The price elasticity for medical rehabilitation programmes aimed at preventing work disability is estimated to be about -0,3, whereas the elasticity for medical rehabilitation programmes for recovery from accidents at work lies around -0,5. The demand for preventive treatment at health spas is elastic and less than -1. |
