The Oxford Handbook of Health Economics provides an accessible and
authoritative guide to health economics, intended for scholars and
students in the field, as well as those in adjacent disciplines
including health policy and clinical medicine. The chapters stress
the direct impact of health economics reasoning on policy and
practice, offering readers an introduction to the potential reach
of the discipline. Contributions come from
internationally-recognized leaders in health economics and reflect
the worldwide reach of the discipline. Authoritative, but
non-technical, the chapters place great emphasis on the connections
between theory and policy-making, and develop the contributions of
health economics to problems arising in a variety of institutional
contexts, from primary care to the operations of health insurers.
The volume addresses policy concerns relevant to health systems in
both developed and developing countries. It takes a broad
perspective, with relevance to systems with single or multi-payer
health insurance arrangements, and to those relying predominantly
on user charges; contributions are also included that focus both on
medical care and on non-medical factors that affect health. Each
chapter provides a succinct summary of the current state of
economic thinking in a given area, as well as the author's unique
perspective on issues that remain open to debate. The volume
presents a view of health economics as a vibrant and continually
advancing field, highlighting ongoing challenges and pointing to
new directions for further progress.
