The Economics of Health and Health Care

Chapters are each about 20 pages long. Well explained, just enough detail. Not overly simplified nor overly complicated. Chapter summaries helpful; and questions for deeper exploration into topics if desired.

Good text, well supported by relevant research. This is not an introductory textbook.

The book is very advanced for a non economics major. I am totally lost but the explanations seem to be adequate.

It was easier to gather the concepts by reading original peer-reviewed articles than trying to get it from this textbook. The style is confusing and the graphs are not well explained. One might find it palatable if one has a background in economics but for those to whom the subject is new, this textbook definitely not a good starting point. And chapter 3 is a joke: its title "statistical tools for health economics" promises an explanation of econometric statistics but instead delivers a shallow introduction to basic statistical concepts. If you have taken statistics before, you will find the chapter poor. I wonder how I would have found the rest, had I taken economics before.

This book is very drawn-out and dry. If you have even a DECENT teacher, you shouldn't really need this book (although I'm sure it's required). My teacher was interested in the material and eager to teach, so I learned the material without opening the book the entire semester. I only looked at it for some of the charts he discussed in class. I have never taken an economics course before and even though I was interested in the material, I couldn't bring myself to read this awful book. That being said, if you love extremely dry reading material, this is definitely the book for you.

Well written. Great resource for my students.

So far all of the pages are intact; however, the binding is literally falling apart. There are several minute tears along the binding as well on the outside cover. I know it's a rental, but they need to ensure they document how it leaves the facility each and every time to ensure other renters are not held liable for how they receive the book.

All graphs, tables and figures are present and fully visible on the digital copy. The immediate delivery was very convenient and the book was a great overall value.

Just what I was looking for

Fantastic book. I love the details.

大学院での講義の為に買いました。ミクロ経済学の基礎を学んだ後でないと、全くの経済シロウトが読むのはこんなんです。概説もあり、経済モデルを使った解説、事例、研究の例、など盛りだくさんです。英語なので大変でしたが、分かりやすい比較的平易な教科書かと思います。

Good book for reviewing healthcare economics in university.Provides a solid overview of the issues in healthcare and different systems of health.
