Introduction to health economics, second half. We will apply principles andeconometric techniques to the production of health and healthcare. Emphasis on reduced-form methods for analyzing policy relevant to health- care markets. Focus on topics, not methods, and will cater to students especially interested in applied micro. The goal is to take students close to the research frontier, educate them about the history and the institutions of US healthcare, and generate research topics. Most research in health economics is heavily empirical, and the course will highlight theory to guide hypothesis testing and the specification of empirical models.

Prerequisites: Second-year Ph.D. in Economics graduate student standing.
