Book description
In recent decades, healthcare has become an ever more important subject as the ageing population in the developed world takes centre stage, and the perceived lack of efficiency and money-wasting present in many healthcare systems comes under the microscope. This key text skilfully leads the reader through the logical links between the economic theory underpinning efficiency measurement and the methods used in its analysis. In examining the current state of efficiency measurement and pointing a well thought out way forward, this book will appeal to a wide audience of academics, practitioners and students involved in health economics and public health studies.
