Econometrics of Health Care - which we have sometimes called
'medico metrics' - is a field in full expansion. The reasons are
numerous: our knowl edge of quantitative relations in the field of
health econometrics is far from being perfect, a large number of
analytical difficulties - combining medical (latent factors, e. g.
) and economic facts (spatial behaviour, e. g. ) are faced by the
research worker, medical and pharmaceutical techniques change
rapidly, medical costs rocket more than proportionally with
available resources, of being tightened. medical budgets are in the
process So it is not surprising that the practice of
'hygieconometrics' - to produce a neologism - is more and more
included in the programmes of econometri cians. The Applied
Econometrics Association has devoted to the topic two symposia in
less than three years (Lyons, February 1983; Rotterdam, December
1985), without experiencing any difficulties in getting valuable
papers: on econometrics of risks and medical insurance, on the
measurement of health status and of efficiency of medical
techniques, on general models allowing simulation. These were the
themes for the second meeting, but other aspects of
medical-economic problems had presented themselves already to the
analyst: medical decision making and its consequences, the
behaviour of the actors - patients and physicians -, regional
medicometrics and what not: some of them have been covered by the
first meeting. Finally, in July 1988 took place in Lyons the Fourth
International Conference on System Science in Health Care; it
should not be astonishing ."
