| Inhalt |
What determines the demand and supply of health care? How do informational problems affect decisions in the health care market? What role does insurance play in the determination of demand and supply? Should governments regulate the health care market? These and other questions will be addressed in this introductory course in health economics. Topics include the demand for health and health care, the supply of health care, health insurance, the economics of health innovation, and public health economics. Economic principles will be applied to analyze current issues in the health system in Switzerland and in other countries, and we will discuss the relevance and limits of health economics to inform health policy and practice. |
