EC 5025 - Foundations of Economic Analysis

(3)

Course exposes students to the benefits and limits of theory, measurement and economic modeling. Students learn to forecast how macroeconomic events affect both a medical practice and the health care market. At the micro-economic level, they learn the importance of incentives, why markets fail, the impact of government intervention on markets, and how to use supply and demand analysis to correct shortages and waste. Students conclude this course by using economic analysis to assess corporate and government policy.
