Goal
This course uses the tools of microeconomics and empirical analysis to study health care delivery system with collaboration of donation program on health Care management which has started in Sep.2003. The principal goal is to become proficient in evaluating empirical analyses and in applying economics reasoning to health-related issues. In particular, the course focuses on how payment systems, government policies and industrial organization affect the incentives and environment for particular agents and institutions within and beyond the health sector.
And also the courses in heath care policy are designed to complement the conceptual framework provided by the business core. Their purposes is to prepare the graduate for high-level professional practice in the industry by emphasizing the application of principle from the business disciplines.

Class Preparation and Participation
The Course requirements include written exercises due in five of the 10 weeks of the semester, an oral presentation in a discussion group, attendance at and critique of at least one Workshop in Health Care Management, and a final examination. The written exercises are one to three-page responses to questions on reading and lecture material. The oral presentations, are ten to fifteen minutes on a subject in the course of particular interest to the student. The workshop critiques of three or four pages are based on presentations each week by faculty, staff, and Ph.D. candidates from the University as well as researchers from other universities and health organizations on their current work concerning the health status of the population and the organization and delivery of health care.
In most week, study questions will be provided to facilitate understanding of the course material. These will include technical problems which should be completed during the week and solutions will be reviewed the following week. Although these are not graded, they are extremely good practice for the examinations.
Student participation and discussion is expected. All students should come to each class prepared to discuss issues raised in the assigned readings or to explain their solutions to assigned problems to the best of their ability.

The commitment
This is an intermediate economics course at the graduate level. To successfully learn the material, students should be prepared to devote at least eight hours a week to the course, exclusive of class time.

Grades
Course grades will be calculated as follows:
Short essays and written exercises to be turned in before each class 35(7亊5)%
Class Participation 5%
Oral presentation 20%
Workshop critique 10%
Final Examination Either July 3 or Dec 4 30%
