Catalog description

This course provides an overview of the United States healthcare system using a microeconomics lens. Students will be introduced to microeconomic theory and empirical studies that will deepen their understanding of how consumers, firms, and the government influence healthcare expenditures (including its quantity and prices) healthcare quality, and patient health outcomes. These economic models will enable students to predict how changes in consumer behavior, the industrial organization of firms, and how government policies affect healthcare and health outcomes.
