Introduction to Health Economics (Understanding Public Health), 2nd Edition

It is a perfect size beautiful book, simple to understand, and chapters are neither short, nor long. A section on activity and feedback is quite impressive and lively to the readers and builds up the levels of confidence by understanding simple questions and answers relevant in our day to day life. Economics is about making good choices and the book serves the purpose of using health resources appropriately in all contents of the book. A simple observation is more than enough to provide good health care by knowing the methods of economics and principles. The first and ultimate lesson of economics still revolves around the principle of opportunity cost whether markets or trade or health care. To get 5 stars, further improvements shall be made, which authors do time-to-time when their readers give feedback, leading to the next edition, in this case, the third edition of the book. It is a very good book.

Used the book at the University of The Gambia (UTG) for MPH/MSPH students. Text was helpful to me as faculty to organize and present the material. The problem: no text books for the students - but the concepts and references were extremely important and useful for students with limited exposure to economics and business.

Great book and in really good condition. I really like the format and it makes learning the economics part of health economics more enjoyable.

very easy to follow, even if the content is dry. Lots of examples and problems to work through.

Excellent book. Extremely readable.

It was like working through a maze. Maybe just the layout or maybe the book and pages could have been larger

This is full of great information in an easy to read format! I'm learning a lot and enjoy reading it from my Kindle!

Kindle version has some errors - for example tables cut off, graphs moving off page etc

This was a required textbook for a Health Economics course I took.It explains concepts simply and clearly with appropriate examples and gives readers a strong foundation in the topic. It is an INTRO book and will be mostly review to anyone with prior economics training.

Simple language and requires basic knowledge. Helps you understand the fundamentals of health economics. If you would like a start point this book is for you. If you want to dive deep this is not enough.
