摘要翻译:
依赖政府转移支付的低收入个人是否会在月底受到流动性限制,以至于他们推迟就医?我使用丹麦的行政数据来调查这个问题,这些数据包括福利接受者和所有处方药的配药情况。我发现在转移收入发薪日,接受者开处方的倾向增加了52%。通过分离用于治疗慢性病的预防药物,患者可以预期需要配药,例如降胆固醇的他汀类药物,我发现在发薪日增加了99%。即使是用于治疗急性疾病的药物,及时治疗是必不可少的,我发现抗生素在发薪日增加了22%,而在发薪日之前的四天减少了5-8%。最后,利用医生开处方日期和患者填处方日期的差异,说明流动性约束是抗生素治疗延期的关键运行机制。

英文摘要:
Are low-income individuals relying on government transfers liquidity constrained by the end of the month to a degree that they postpone medical treatment? I investigate this question using Danish administrative data comprising the universe of welfare recipients and the filling of all prescription drugs. I find that on transfer income payday, recipients have a 52% increase in the propensity to fill a prescription. By separating prophylaxis drugs used to treat chronic conditions, where the patient can anticipate the need to fill the prescription, e.g. cholesterol-lowering statins, I find an increase of up to 99% increase on payday. Even for drugs used to treat acute conditions, where timely treatment is essential, I find a 22% increase on payday for antibiotics and a 5-8% decrease in the four days preceding payday. Lastly, exploiting the difference in day the doctor write the prescription and the day the patient fill it, I show that liquidity constraints is the key operating mechanism for postponing antibiotic treatment.
