| Inhalt | This course provides a broad overview of principles of health economics and highlights ongoing research areas. Health economists investigate where waste occurs in the health care system, how health insurance companies act, what drives individual health behaviors, inequality in healthcare outcomes and utilization, and how governments should regulate healthcare markets to set the right incentives. The toolkit employed by health economists consists of formal theoretical models used to understand firm healthcare provider, health insurer, patient, and government behavior as well as rigorous empirical methods honed to identify causal effects in observational data and measure the value of health interventions and policies. The course organized in collaboration with the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+) and the University of Lausanne offers a broad overview of topics at the heart of health economics by several experts from across Switzerland. The course allows Master students to interact with PhD students from a variety of fields such as epidemiology, public health, medicine, and law. |
