This course is designed to provide an applied approach of economic theoretical concepts to the complex economic forces, dynamics and challenges of healthcare, an industry in a continuous state of flux. Specifically, this course applies microeconomic theory to analyze the healthcare market from the perspectives of those who demand and supply healthcare. The course will analyze the market for physicians and hospital services, as well as the pharmaceutical industry and other related industries. Analysis will focus on key principles related to supply and demand, forecasting, market incentives, pricing, asymmetry, and government intervention and regulation. From an economic perspective, the students will also have the opportunity to evaluate the structure and performance of the United States healthcare system as it compares to that of other countries globally. Discussion of empirical studies, current policy debates, and the relevance and limits of the economic approach will be emphasized.
