Heterogeneous Credit Impacts on Health Care Spending of the Poor in Peri-Urban Areas, Vietnam: Quantile Treatment Effect Estimation
Quantile
treatment effects are estimated to study the impacts of household
credit access on health spending by poor households in one District of
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
There
are significant positive effects of credit on the health budget shares
of households with low health care spending. In contrast, when an
average treatment effect is estimated, there is no discernible impact of
credit access on health spending.
Hence,
typical approaches to studying heterogeneous credit impacts that only
consider between-group differences and not differences over the
distribution of outcomes may miss some heterogeneity of interest to
policymakers.
