1 INTRODUCTION The long-term care sector represents a substantial share of the economy. In 2017, the publicly-funded long-term care spending was on average 1.5% of the gross domestic product across countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and about 2.2% in the United Kingdom (OECD, 2019). The publicly-funded long-term care program in England is called Adult Social Care (ASC).

Longo et al8 estimate the effect of publicly funded ASC expenditure per user on CRQoL of existing users across LAs in 2017/2018 through the following equation:(1)In equation (1), the CRQoL of user i living in LA j is assumed to be a linear function f of ASC expenditure per user. To capture eligibility levels we use a dummy variable for each type of LA.
