| Inhalt |
The seminar compares different health care systems across the globe. Health policy typically has three goals: health, wealth, and equity. However, there is an inherent tradeoff between the three goals so they can never be maximized together. We analyze from an economic perspective how different countries choose to organize and regulate health insurance markets to tackle the many market failures (e.g. adverse selection, moral hazard, monopoly rents, oversupply of medical services). The first part of the seminar will focus on theory and basic concepts. We will set up a framework with which we analyze the different systems worldwide. In the second part, every student is expected to present one system based on this framework. |
| Lernziele |
• Understand the key characteristics of international health care markets and the economic problems associated with these characteristics.
• Describe systematically how health care markets are organized and identify root causes of market failures.
• Analyze the role of government in health financing and service delivery and identify the root causes of government failures. |
