This one hour course will give an introduction to the economics and policy evaluation in health. We would like to implement a new course for students, researchers and professionals on this topic. It would be great to have a mix of people who may or may not know health econometrics and health policy research for constructive feedback.

The course is structured like this:

• To understand what is meant by health economics and policy evaluation
• Provide definition and examples
• Understand the use of the data sources
• Provide information about the data sources used for health economics
• Data visualization
• Different methods used to evaluate health policy
• Econometrics models (OLS, 2SLS, quantile regression)
• Interpretation of the Outcomes (infant maternal outcomes, immigration and health, health care services) and possible policy implication
• To understand strategies to investigate the link between health and economic
• Provide examples of how to explore the health data with the economic theory
• Provide information about how health policy affect healthcare
• To understand strategies to investigate and quantify the effects of health policies
• Evaluate how demand and supply in health change according to the economic incentives
• Evaluate the distortion of health policy if the economic theory is not into account
