ECON 440 - Health Economics

This course is designed to build an understanding of the healthcare delivery system from an applied economics perspective. The application of these skills will be drawn from examples that illustrate the production of and demand for health and health care. As health insurance models develop, greater emphasis is being placed on individual choice and responsibility as determinants of healthcare utilization. Insurance is a major economic lever of these trends. How insurance firms are molding consumer choice and the responsibility for economic advantage will become critical to the future of healthcare in the U.S. Economic analysis is therefore pivotal to any understanding of how healthcare systems operate from both an empirical and normative aspect.
