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.
