| Weitere Daten |
For each class, there will be a lecture that covers the main concepts and provides the theoretical context of each week’s topic, and an applied part primarily from academic journals, with student presentations and class discussion. To this end, required reading will be assigned before each session. There will be set questions for each week to guide your reading; students should then be prepared to answer them in the class. |

2 Semesterwochenstunden |
| Inhalt |
This course aims to explore in detail specialist topics related to Global Health Economics, with a particular focus on the relationship between health, poverty and development. It will enable students to examine the challenges related to the quality and delivery of healthcare in low-income countries from an economic perspective, and critically reflect on how differences in health determinants between and within countries, as well as differences in financing health systems affect the level of health and the demand for health care. |
| Lernziele |
By the end of the course the student should be able to:
• Summarize and discuss elements of the global health system, including the role of the key actors and the financing schemes
• Understand and critically review studies on healthcare financing, health interventions and global health policy in low-income countries
• Explain how economic, social and environmental factors determine healthcare demand and supply |
| Voraussetzungen |
Bachelor’s degree. Some concepts of economic theory and econometrics will be reviewed in class, but students are expected to have a good knowledge of microeconomics and econometrics. |
