Health Economics is the most thorough book available on the economics of health and health care delivery. Developing the theory necessary to examine these issues analytically, the authors present empirical evidence on each issue, summarizing results for easy comprehension. Issues discussed include the "cost explosion" in health care, the role of physician and the power of medical associations, and the control of technological change in medicine. Because the level of sophistication is rapidly expanding in health economics, this book also provides key analytic tools required to understand research that is currently in progress.
