Method of building an information system for healthcare district division

Information resources are an essential foundation for the development of a scientific approach in decision-making. The scientific approach to the development of health policy allows to conduct reliable international comparisons, determine priorities for the development of national healthcare and predict the development of the health situation, depending on the conduct of various activities. This approach allows to make decisions and build sound forecasts, taking into account the peculiarities of national healthcare when implementing international recommendations and carrying out projects

International Trade and Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence from Ukraine

The paper empirically assesses microeconomic exporting-productivity nexus using the data for Ukrainian manufacturing firms for the years 2000-2005. The results of the estimation show that firms with higher total factor productivity (TFP) levels in the period prior to entry are much more likely to enter export markets. Also age, size and intangible assets of the firm have significant positive influence on the probability of exporting. In testing learning-by-exporting effect I employ propensity score matching to address issues of endogeneity and sample selection. When the estimation is done for the whole universe of firms in the dataset, the results go in line with common trends and suggest significant positive post-entry productivity effect for the firms that enter export markets for the first time (in the t, t+1 and t+2 periods). At the industry level the results confirm the presence of learning-by-exporting effect in some industries. However the effect is not universal and varies between different types of exporting firms.exports, TFP, control function, matching, sample selection, endogeneity
