課程概述 |
This is a master-level, introductory course in Health Economics that is also open to qualified undergraduate students in other fields with basic knowledge in public health and health services research. The emphasis will be on acquiring a set of different frameworks within which to explain decision-making and service delivery in healthcare market. In this course, we will cover both demand and supply sides of the healthcare sector. We will also cover basic statistical tools for health economists as well as basic concepts of program evaluation that use economics or quantitative methods. |

課程要求 |
This is primarily a lecture-based course. Students are expected to have read the assigned textbook chapters and required readings (when assigned) in detail before class. The instructor will provide lecture notes for each class. Students are required to complete homework assignments during the semester. Students are also required to present an assigned journal article as an individual or group during the semester, depending on the class size. In preparing for the presentation, students are encouraged to discuss with the lecturer as well as work as a group (if it is a group presentation). A separate guideline for the presentation and homework will be distributed during the class.
Grading and Assignments
The grades will be determined as weighted averages of homework assignments, presentations, and class participation:
Class participation 20%
In-class presentation 40%
Homework assignments 40%
