Anotace

The course aims to provide students with an introduction to the key concepts, methods and understanding of the application of economics to health and health care. Students will gain knowledge of the core theories underpinning health economics, and by looking at the empirical evidence they will learn to evaluate whether they give correct predictions for real health care market. The differences between US and European approach toward health care financing and provision will be discussed to stimulate students’ critical thinking about the major challenges health care systems face and how health economics can play a role in understanding and mitigating those challenges.
