The 5th Edition of "Health Economics and Policy (with Economic Application), International Edition" thoroughly demonstrates how microeconomic principles apply to health care delivery and its policies. The text explores the changing nature of health care, as well as the social and political sides of issues, and teaches students to analyze public policy from an economic perspective. Written for non-economics majors, "Health Economics and Policy (with Economic Application), 5e, International Edition" delivers significant economic content and is also appropriate for economics majors.
