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 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). The midterm and final exams will be open book.
Late Assignment/exam Policy
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the relevant date. Exams are due at the pre-determined time on the scheduled date. Late assignments/exams will not be accepted, except in extreme circumstances with the approval of the instructor.
Cell Phones and Laptops
Turn off cell phones in class. Laptops may be used in class. Please be considerate when using laptops, typing can be quite noisy and distracting to others in the classroom.
Specific Honor Code Guidelines
Students are allowed and encouraged to collaborate on assignments unless instructed otherwise. Students may work together before they begin the write-up of their assignments, but written answers should not be shared before grading is complete.
To emphasize the importance of integrity and intellectual property in the profession, you are required on each assignment to list those individuals with whom you collaborated, and attribute from whom you have borrowed any specific ideas (such as the approach used to solve a specific question on the assignment). You are also required to list ALL references you referred in the assignment write-up.
