Health Insurance for the Poor, Healthcare Use and Health Outcomes in Indonesia

Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (2020)

Ranjan Shrestha

This article evaluates the effects of the Health Insurance for the Poor program, Askeskin, using panel data from the 2000 and 2007 rounds of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS). Because Askeskin was not assigned to recipients randomly, difference-in-difference propensity score matching is used to estimate the treatment effects of the program on healthcare use. The results suggest heterogeneous effects across age, gender and poverty status. The overall use of outpatient healthcare increased primarily among females. The use of inpatient healthcare increased the most among elderly males, with no significant increase observed among elderly females. While the increase in the use of outpatient healthcare was larger for the poor, the increase in the use of inpatient healthcare was larger for the non-poor, especially in rural areas. Although healthcare use increased among Askeskin recipients, the results suggest no significant improvements in health outcomes.

Does Adolescence Anemia Persist over a Woman’s Life Cycle?: Evidence from the Indonesian Family Life Survey

Elan Satriawan Ranjan Shrestha Firman Witoelar Takashi Yamano

This study analyzes the determinants of anemia in Indonesian women throughout their life cycle. By tracking a group of women from adolescence into adulthood, the study finds a high burden of anemia among women across income groups; that there is some persistence of anemia throughout their life cycle; and women’s income potential and economic status may be related to the prevalence of anemia.

The village midwife program and infant mortality in Indonesia

Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (2010)

Ranjan Shrestha

Abstract Indonesia introduced over 50,000 midwives into villages in the 1990s to provide primary care to women lacking easy access to health facilities. It seems plausible to argue that the significant reduction in infant mortality that occurred from about 1993–94 was a consequence of this. The paper estimates the village midwife program's impact on infant mortality, using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey. Regressing mortality outcomes against choice of services would lead to biased estimates because of the correlation between service choice and unobserved individual characteristics. Furthermore, non-random placement of midwives could bias estimates of their impact on infant mortality. This study overcomes such endogeneity problems by aggregating mortality outcomes and program prevalence at district level and taking account of district fixed effects in estimating the program's impact. Surprisingly, the results do not support the hypothesis that the midwife program was responsible for the observed decline in infant mortality.
