| Abstract |
Association between health and socio-economic status has been widely reported, but why is there such a persistent association? Its underlying mechanism remains under debate, and a better understanding of socio-economic disparities in health is important in designing effective policies to achieve equality of opportunities. In this course, we will review and discuss important hypotheses, including the classical health capital model (Grossman, 1972). Many empirical evidences for various hypotheses will be reviewed. The lecture also emphasizes widely-used econometric techniques and behavioural economics. Contents: 1. Socioeconomic Disparities in Health 2. Demand for Health Care 3. Demand for Health 4. Health Behaviour 5. Determinants of Health. 今回は講義中に4名の大学院生のプレゼンテーションの時間も設けており、丸山先生よりコメントをいただく予定です。 4 graduate students give their presentation in each lecture. |
