Health Economics (The Pearson Series In Economics)
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Health Economics combines current economic theory, recent research, and health policy problems into a comprehensive overview of the field. This thorough update of a classic and widely used text follows author Charles E. Phelps' thirteen years of service as Provost of the University of Rochester. Accessible and intuitive, early chapters use recent empirical studies to develop essential methodological foundations. Later chapters build on these core concepts to focus on key policy areas, such as the structure and effects of Medicare reform, insurance plans, and new technologies in the health care community. This edition contains revised and updated data tables and contains information throughout the text on the latest changes that were made to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

Same as the US edition exactly... and way cheaper. If you need this book for college class, definitely get this version vs the green US edition and spend the extra money on beer.

I purchased this for Health Econ. It is so easy to understand yet packed with interesting and relevant information. I am very glad the professor chose this book. It also arrived in excellent condition.

It is a great book if you already have learned basic economics. It could have used some more practical examples to explain the concepts.

Bought the book for school. Was in great condition.
