Descriptif
The course undertakes a microeconomic analysis of health systems. It looks at both empirical work (study of individual data on healthcare supply and demand behaviour) and theoretical work (applications of regulation models in the health sector). It examines recent reforms undertaken in France and abroad and seeks to determine whether their effects comply with the predictions of theoretical models of regulation applied to the health sector.
