A model of the determinants of health combines three economic variables and two economic relationships

/in /by

Use the above
information to determine the relationship between price and health status in
this model. In other words, solve for D and for P, and set up two equations:
one showing the value of D in terms of P; and one showing the value of P in
terms of D. Once you have determined the two equations, provide an
interpretation of each equation.

1.  A model of the determinants of health combines three economic variables and two economic relationships.
For instance, the three economic variables are:
the amount a patient pays for a visit to a physiotherapist (P);
the number of times the patient visits the physiotherapist (V); and
the length of time it takes the patient to recover from a rotator cuff (shoulder) injury (D) (max. ? 365 days).
The two economic relationships are:
the number of visits (V) ? 18 ? $0.09 (P).
In other words, if the price is zero, the patient will make 18 visits in order to receive treatment for this injury. If the price is $200, the patient will make zero visits.
the number of days to recover (365 ? D).
In this case, the number of healthy days (D) in the next year will be 180 ? 5V. If the number of visits is zero, the patient will have 180 healthy days and it will take 185 (365 ? 180) days to recover from the rotator cuff injury. If the number of visits is 18, the patient will have 270 [180 ? 5(18)] healthy days, and the time to recover from the injury will be…
