Learning objectives

The course introduces students to the main issues involved in the analysis of the relationship between economic and health variables. Microeconomic theory will be used to illustrate the determinants of demand and supply of health and health care. The course will also investigate the interaction between public and private suppliers of health related services and commodities, as well as the role of regulation. At the end of the course students should be able to understand the key characteristics of modern health care systems and the main challenges posed by their organization and financing. They should also be able to use appropriate techniques and data to support decisions related to health care, including those related to the efficient allocation of scarce resources. To this end, students will be given the opportunity to work in groups on real world situations and to learn how to use appropriate software to address complex situations.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students are expected to be able to interpret and solve simple microeconomic models and to have knowledge of fundamental concepts of statistics and econometrics

Didactic methods

Teaching will include both lectures and computer lab sessions. Students will be given the opportunity to apply the methods learnt during the course for the solution of real problems.

Learning assessment procedures

Assessment will be based on a written exam (including both theoretical and practical questions). Students are also expected to show ability to apply concepts and methods to real-world situations. Students may opt to base part of their exam on a project work.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The evaluation will take into consideration: the understanding of the contents and methods, the ability to adequately apply the contents to specific situations, the ability to deepen and re-elaborate the contents

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The evaluation will be based on the result of the written test. For students who choose to work on a project work, the evaluation of this will contribute, with equal weight to the written test, to the determination of the final grade.
