Supply and demand of health and health services in developing countries (GH490E/ GH590F) Course Description This is a dual undergraduate and graduate level course. This course examines the demand, supply and financing of health and health service in developing countries. Each class period is divided into two distinct portions. During the first portion, students will be introduced to evidence about a thematic topic and use theoretical frameworks from the field of economics to interpret that evidence. During this portion of the class, our objective is to identify what we know about these issues. The second portion of each class period will focus on the empirical methodology used to generate and test evidence from data. During this portion, our objective is to understand how we know what we know. Special attention is devoted to drawing causal inference from observational data. The 4-credit course consists of two lectures per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3:30 to 5:20 pm). The 5-credit course consists of those lectures plus a one-hour research forum (Thursday from 5:30 to 6:20 pm). During this forum, students pursue their own independent research project.
