Master 2 Recherche Politiques publiques - Global Gealth Economics

This Global Health Economics (GHE) course systematically analyses the problems faced in promoting health for all. GHE, like HE, draws on both macro and microeconomic theories to understand consumers’, producers’ and governments’ choices. It addresses equity and efficiency trade-offs in decision-making under constrained resources. The global perspective adopted here develops comparisons between high-income countries (HICs) and low-middle income countries (LMICs).  Contributions from disciplines other than economics, such as sociology, political science, psychology or philosophy will also be systematically acknowledged. 

Topics will cover such topics as the relationship between health, wealth and growth, individual health behavior determinants, economic evaluation of new technologies, access to universal coverage, optimal provider payments, gender and socio-economic inequalities.
