The effects of the Norwegian Coordination Reform on the use of rehabilitation services: panel data analyses of service use, 2010 to 2013.

Joint tests of the differences between 2011 and 2012 levels, which may be interpreted as the adjustment going into the reform, reveal that effects in all service sectors are substantial and highly significant. 12 On the other hand, levels do not change substantively or significantly in the pre-reform period from 2010 to 2011, save for municipal rehabilitation services. 13 Moreover, joint tests of differences between levels in 2012 and 2013, i.e. within the reform, are smaller than changes from 2011 to 2012, suggesting that there is little adjustment both before and after the reform, but some adjustment going into the reform. 14 In the next column (B) we add needs levels ( Needs c ) in the individual municipality-year, since service use should arguably be affected by changes in needs.
