Editorial Reviews

Review

"I currently use Santerre and Neun. It has the best balance of theory and empirical material of the health economics books available."

"I am considering adopting this text for the fall semester. I think the ancillaries will be quite helpful to the students and add significantly to the presentation of the material in the classroom."

"I really liked Chapter 14 on the pharmaceutical industry! I think this is much better than the treatment in my current text (and I think other texts that I have seen). The Insights were all well chosen and really introduced students to some current issues in the topic."

"I am very happy with the writing style and level in this book. The text is thorough without being excessively wordy. The writing in this book is comparatively better than that in Phelp's book, which at times is confusing, or Folland's book, which is painfully boring and confusing."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, well written, very informative, October 25, 2008
By 
This review is from: Health Economics: Theories, Insights, and Industries Studies (Hardcover)
Required reading for my Economics of Healthcare class, but the book was entirely fascinating and interesting. Made me look at insurance and healthcare differently.

Useful, especially with the upcoming elections. Very insightful on economics of the healthcare system in several countries.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worthy at all, June 23, 2011
This review is from: Health Economics: Theories, Insights, and Industries Studies (Hardcover)
Basically it is the same stuff from principles of economics book and only changes the examples to health care related. Not recommended to buy if you have read principles of economics before.

PAINFUL to read through. Impossibly small print lots of words dancing on a single page. . .BUT lots of great information, clear writing style. Maybe a little too many typos?!?!
