Health Economics introduces students of economics, public health, and medicine to the modern field of health economics. The book emphasizes the link between economic theory and health policy, and covers both the established models of health insurance and the dilemmas that policy makers currently face.
Features include:
• Broad coverage, featuring comparative health policy and empirical examples from around the world
• Topical issues such as the obesity epidemic, economic epidemiology, socioeconomic health disparities, and behavioural economics
• The latest research including the Oregon Medicaid Experiment and the potential impacts of US health reform
The student-friendly Health Economics is written in an engaging, lively style, enhanced by cartoons and images that relate the principles of health economics to everyday life. It also offers hundreds of exercises to help solidify and extend understanding.
