Description
There is a growing interest in the application of economics to health care as it is recognised that health care is an economic good like any other: health care resources are limited and the potential use of those resources are unbounded. Choices must be made about what quantity and mix of health care to produce, how to produce it, who pays for it and how it is distributed.  These are the issues that the discipline of health economics addresses.

Economic Analysis in Health Care provides a comprehensive coverage of both the economics of health care systems and the evaluation of health care technologies.  It has been written as a core textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students with knowledge of economic analysis and will appeal to an international audience.
