Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is a graduate introduction to the field of health economics, covering both theory and empirical research, but with an emphasis on empirical work. It begins with a discussion of the importance of health care to the economy and how health care differs from other goods and services. It will cover the human capital model of health, the determinants of health, the demand for health and medical care, cross-country differences, regional variation in health care and outcomes, innovation in health care markets, and concludes with a discussion of the productivity of medical care spending. The class will consist of lectures on Monday (13.15 – 14.45) and Tuesday (9:45 – 11.15). The aim of the course is to prepare students to conduct applied research and analysis in the area of health economics.
