Over the past few years, health economics has emerged as a prominent field of study, playing a crucial role in shaping normative health policies and guiding resource allocation and healthcare quality worldwide. Medical Economics, authored by two physicians with backgrounds in economics, provides a comprehensive introduction to the economic aspects of healthcare provision and management. Addressing concerns that impact individuals and public health, the authors employ a broader range of economic tools and analytical frameworks than typically found in standard textbooks. Through thought experiments and real-world examples, they illustrate the complex healthcare challenges facing policymakers today.

The book is designed primarily for courses in medicine, public health, and healthcare management and administration, but it also appeals to economists seeking a broader understanding of healthcare systems, including healthcare financing, markets, the role of the state, and other macroeconomic considerations. It offers valuable insights into evaluation methods, healthcare technology, paying for medical care, health insurance, and ethical issues.

By integrating economic principles with medical knowledge, Medical Economics equips readers with the tools they need to navigate the complex landscape of healthcare policy and management, ensuring that healthcare resources are allocated effectively and that the quality of care is improved for all.
