 note = {[Abstract]  It seems that contributions to social insurance for workers would be raised by the increases in expenditures on health care in Japan. Is health care really a necessity at the country level ? The hypothesis that health care is a necessity for the elderly was investigated in this paper. Quarterly data by age group in the 1990s was used. It was found that the characteristics of health care expenditures depend on the effect of changes in out-of-pocket payments. It was concluded that health care expenditures for the elderly is a luxury by vector error correction models when structural changes in payment are taken into consideration.     [要旨] 医療費の増加によって日本では勤労者の社会保険料負担が引き上げられるであろうと目されている。 一国全体で医療は本当に生活必需財なのか。 この論文では, 医療の財としての性格が高齢者にとって生活必需財であるかが考察された。 1990年代の年齢階層別の四半期データが用いられ, 医療の財としての性格は患者自己負担の変化の効果に依存することが見出された。 自己負担の支払い方法の構造変化が考慮されたベクトル値誤差修正モデルによって, 高齢者にとって医療は奢侈財であるとの結論が得られた。, application/pdf},
