Recent years have witnessed a dramatic surge in applied econometric
work in health economics, enhanced by the availability of large micro
and macro data sets as well as the rapid development of new techniques
and tools in econometrics. Health economics is an important and
challenging area of research for applied econometricians, due to
complexity embedded in the data, arising from issues such as
nonlinearity of models, the presence of individual-level unobserved
heterogeneity as well as time and cross sectional dependencies.
This book covers a wide range of existing and emerging topics in
applied health economics. These include: behavioural economics,
medical care risk, social insurance, discrete choice models,
cost-effectiveness analysis, health and immigration, vignette
approach, response of parental investments to child’s health at
birth, determinants of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry,
hospital competition, use of administrative data, spatial health
econometrics, health expenditure, and networks.
