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.
