It applies economic, statistical principles, and techniques, to the production of health and the closely related markets for health insurance and services. Emphasis on applying I.O. principles and analyzing policy relevant to the health insurance and services markets. Focus on topics, not methods, and will cater to students especially interested in applied micro. Goal is to take students close to the research frontier, educate about the history and institutions of US healthcare, and generate research topics. Most research in health economics is heavily empirical, and course highlights theory to guide hypothesis testing and the specification of empirical models.
