Institution:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

Subject:

Economics

Description:

Researches information related to global trends in health and poverty and examines theories related to the economic, social, and political forces behind these trends. Economically analyzes the barriers preventing greater access to and usage of health services in poor communities, such as asymmetric information, monopoly provision, and externalities. Critically examines health service provision from opposite economic spectrums: (1) as Global Public Goods and (2) as micro-programs targeting specific populations. Covers case studies of health initiatives in developing countries and their economic impacts.
