dc.description.abstractExcerpts from the introduction: This dissertation deals with three research questions that can be situated in the field of public economics. [...] Chapter 2, Political Budget Cycles in Public Health Care Expenditure in Switzerland, examines whether health ministers increase health care spending or delay the closure of hospitals before they run for re-election. In addition to total public health care expenditure (PHCE), its sub-categories and indicators such as the number of hospitals are analysed with regard to patterns that indicate electoral cycles. The extent to which the hypothesised opportunistic motive plays a role is specified by the health ministers’ confidence in their re-election, which determines the perceived need for election-driven spending. In Chapter 3, The Impact of a Business Cycle Shock on the Gender Wage Gap: Evidence from Switzerland, together with Beaumont Schoeman I take advantage of the unanticipated Swiss Franc Shock in 2015 and its divergent impact on the unexplained gender wage gap (UGWG) of differently trade exposed sectors. [...] In Chapter 4, What is the Cost of Waiting for the Next Train? Evidence from a Field Experiment on Swiss Long-distance Trains, I investigate how the purchasing behaviour of tickets for long-distance trains changes when prices and pre-sale deadlines are adjusted. Furthermore, I make a monetary evaluation of the time customers commit themselves to take a specific train by purchasing the corresponding tickets. [...]de_CH
