About the Book:
Health
Economics and Financing serves as the perfect primer for the economic analysis
of medical markets. It prepares students of medicine, public health, policy and
administration who wish to engage the central economic issues of their
field—without extensive mathematics or highly technical analytical techniques.
Getzen’s text includes effective
explanations of how and why health and medicine are both like and unlike other
economic goods, as well as knowledge about institutional features, for students
who intend to go into this unique and rewarding line of work.
Health Economics and Financing
serves as an excellent primer for introducing students to the principles and
core concepts of health economics rather than its literature, equations, or
research methods.
