| Omschrijving | This course incorporates an advanced perspective on the application of economic principles to analyse health and healthcare. We recap and critique the dominant economic model (the “Grossman model”) of individual decision-making with regard to health, highlighting both general problems and problems specific to particular aspects of health, such as mental health. We then consider areas where health economics can inform public policy with regard to health specifically. and how such policy may respond in the future to demographic pressures. We finish by considering how poorer countries face different policy questions. |
