| dc.description.abstract | Recent health surveys show that the number of HIV cases in the Philippines has been increasing rapidly over the past years while the number of health services in the country is at a fluctuating ratio per region. This study aims to investigate if the number of government health services available per region induces moral hazard, which will consequently increase the incidence of HIV I AIDS. The program, Stata, was used for this study. The number of HIV I AIDS cases was used as an indicator for moral hazard. Instrumental Variable Regression was used to estimate the effects of government hospitals, private hospitals, barangay health stations, VCT counselors, ports and prostitution hotpots. The variable government hospital was instrumented by weather variables specifically mean dew point. Furthermore to eliminate rime-bias, fixed effects estimation was used. The regression results showed that government hospitals were insignificant with the reduction of HIV and AIDS. | |
