Health Economics for Managers II

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course is the second of a two-part sequence (i.e., Health Economics I & Health Economics II). The sequence is largely dichotomized into “demand-side” (prior course) and “supply-side” (this course) health economics material. Both courses review and enhance existing knowledge of health care delivery and related policy issues, using the lens and tools of microeconomics. Within Health Economics II, the specific topics covered will span provider markets and regulation, healthcare workforce, hospital markets, health care mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and private equity ownership.
