Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to health economics and finance for lower income countries, which is easy to use and does not assume previous training in economics. It explains health economics in an accessible applied way using material from, and relevant to, developing countries. The focus is on practical use. Core areas are selected for health economists to study in detail, with brief discussions and suggestions for further reading of linked topics more commonly studied under other related disciplines, such as public health and health management. Each chapter introduces a topic then, by the use of question and answer sessions between a group of (humorously named) characters in a fictional country, the relevant material is covered in a lively way. The chapter ends with a summary, practice experiences for the reader and a list of references and suggestions for further reading. There is a glossary of health economic terms to help the reader. The authors are experienced teachers and consultants in economic health economics, based at the Centre for Health Economics at the University of York. All four teach short courses on health economics for students from developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Health Economics provides an accessible and authoritative guide to health economics, intended for scholars and students in the field, as well as those in adjacent disciplines including health policy and clinical medicine. The chapters stress the direct impact of health economics reasoning on policy and practice, offering readers an introduction to the potential reach of the discipline. Contributions come from internationally-recognized leaders in health economics and reflect the worldwide reach of the discipline. Authoritative, but non-technical, the chapters place great emphasis on the connections between theory and policy-making, and develop the contributions of health economics to problems arising in a variety of institutional contexts, from primary care to the operations of health insurers. The volume addresses policy concerns relevant to health systems in both developed and developing countries. It takes a broad perspective, with relevance to systems with single or multi-payer health insurance arrangements, and to those relying predominantly on user charges; contributions are also included that focus both on medical care and on non-medical factors that affect health. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the current state of economic thinking in a given area, as well as the author's unique perspective on issues that remain open to debate. The volume presents a view of health economics as a vibrant and continually advancing field, highlighting ongoing challenges and pointing to new directions for further progress.

It is strongly recommended for public health policymakers and analysts in low- and middle-income country settings and those affiliated to international health organizations and donor organizations.

Book excerpt: "This resource book discusses the economic arguments that could (and could not) be put forth to support the case for investing in the social determinants of health on average and in the reduction in socially determined health inequalities. It provides an overview and introduction into how economists would approach the assessment of the economic motivation to invest in the social determinants of health and socially determined health inequities, including what the major challenges are in this assessment. It illustrates the extent to which an economic argument can be made in favour of investment in 3 major social determinants of health areas: education, social protection, and urban development and infrastructure. It describes whether education policy, social protection, and urban development, housing and transport policy can act as health policy"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our main goal in writing this book is to examine the relationship between health and economic development. Most investigators of health problems in developing countries seem to agree that malnutrition and high rates of disease are related to poverty, but the interpretation of this relationship and the subsequent policy recommendations have led to different analytic approaches. The two main approaches investigated here are disaggregated, sequential policy analysis and structural analysis.
