ECO 133 - (BH) Health EconomicsSemester Hours: 3 Once a Year
Health Economics provides an introduction to key concepts of health
economic theory, from adverse selection and moral hazard to
physician-induced demand. In addition, students learn about a range of
real-world institutional structures for the financing and delivery of
health care. The focus will be on five developed countries — the United
States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and Switzerland, with special
attention to the rise of the United States’ unique system of
employer-provided health insurance. Finally, the course will explore
alternative proposals for the reform of health care systems, and the
role economic analysis plays in the debate over those proposals.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: One introductory course in economics, HPFS 63, or permission of instructor.
