摘要：
We provide a novel approach to evaluate access to health care based on the monetization of access barriers individuals face. This approach allows to distinguish the opportunities individuals enjoy from their utilization of health services, permitting a better assessment of potential, as opposed to revealed, access. An application to Italian data on heart valve replacement shows that the methodology we provide can be easily applied to quantify the share of the population to which access is precluded and the key determinants of denied access.
