This book was released on 1993 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: User charges have for some time, and especially in recent years, played an important role in financing federal programs. In 1991, user charges -- such as passport fees, national park entrance fees, and gasoline excise taxes -- amounted to nearly $120 billion and were the sole source of financing for some programs. This study documents the growth of user charges since 1980 and analyzes the economic and legal issues they have raised over the years as well as the more recent effects of changes in law and budget processes. Also assesses the potential for the growth of user charges. Charts, tables and drawings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Health Economics provides an accessible and authoritative guide to health economics, intended for scholars and students in the field, as well as those in adjacent disciplines including health policy and clinical medicine. The chapters stress the direct impact of health economics reasoning on policy and practice, offering readers an introduction to the potential reach of the discipline. Contributions come from internationally-recognized leaders in health economics and reflect the worldwide reach of the discipline. Authoritative, but non-technical, the chapters place great emphasis on the connections between theory and policy-making, and develop the contributions of health economics to problems arising in a variety of institutional contexts, from primary care to the operations of health insurers. The volume addresses policy concerns relevant to health systems in both developed and developing countries. It takes a broad perspective, with relevance to systems with single or multi-payer health insurance arrangements, and to those relying predominantly on user charges; contributions are also included that focus both on medical care and on non-medical factors that affect health. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the current state of economic thinking in a given area, as well as the author's unique perspective on issues that remain open to debate. The volume presents a view of health economics as a vibrant and continually advancing field, highlighting ongoing challenges and pointing to new directions for further progress.

Book excerpt: Fed. gov¿t policymakers are interested in user fees as a means of financing new and existing services. User fees can be designed to reduce the burden on taxpayers to finance the portions of activities that provide benefits to identifiable users above and beyond what is normally provided to the public. User fees can promote economic efficiency and equity. However user fees must be well designed. This report studies how user fee design characteristics may influence the effectiveness of user fees.

Book excerpt: Between 1991 and 1994, user charges--measured in constant dollars--increased by nearly 9 percent, reaching a total of almost $140 billion. User charges are of four general types: user fees, regulatory fees, benefit-based taxes, and liability-based taxes. Between 1991 and 1994, user and regulatory fees increased, while benefit- and liability-based taxes combined did not. User fees--payments made by individuals or businesses for goods or services provided by the government, consumed voluntarily, and not generally shared by other members of society--increased by 10 percent to nearly $107 billion. Regulatory fees--charges that stem from the government's powers to regulate the economy and the activities of individuals--increased by 40 percent to more than $6 billion. Benefit-based taxes--taxes dedicated to trust funds and levied on commodities that are related in varying degrees to use of a publicly provided good or service--amounted to $24.5 billion, an increase of only 1 percent. Liability-based taxes--excises dedicated to trust funds and levied to abate hazards or compensate for injuries--declined by 11 percent to $2.4 billion.
