Research
in health economics has developed into a
separate discipline during the last
25
years. All this
intense research activity has come about through the
teaching of courses on health economics, mostly at
graduate level. However, the Industrial Organization
aspects of the health care market do not occupy a
central place in those courses. The authors propose
a textbook of health economics whose distinguishing
feature is the analysis of the health care market from
an Industrial Organization perspective. This textbook
will provide teachers and students with a reference to
study the market structure aspects of the health care
sector.
The book is structured in three parts. Part I presents
the basic principles of economics. It will bring
readers to the required level of knowledge to follow
subsequent parts. Part II reviews the main concepts
of health economics. Part III contains the core of the
book. It presents the Industrial Organization analysis
of the health care market, based on the authors own
research.
The book is aimed at graduate students of different
backgrounds following courses on health economics,
and managers with responsibilities in the governance
of health care centers and in policy design. It will also
appeal to anyone interested in a proper understanding
of the interactions among the agents in the health
care market.
