ECO 4300 - Health Economics
3 hours
This course will use “Health” as a vehicle for introducing some basic ideas from economic theory and utilize some of these tools of analysis to study Health as a “good”, the patient as a consumer, the derived demand for medical care, and the markets and social institutions that influence the production and distribution of medical care. The course will compare and contrast the health care and health insurance industries with other sectors of the Amercian economic system to discover the ways in which those industries may be unique.
