Abstract
Health Economics is a relatively young discipline. It applies the tool of economic analysis on health services and health care systems. Main methods and examples for study questions are: microeconomic theory (e.g. how should a health insurance scheme remunerate the services of office based physicians and hospitals?), market theory (e.g. should we allow competition between social health insurers and do we need a risk adjustment mechanism?), risk and insurance theory (e.g. what are the effects of co payments und deductibles?), public choice theory (e.g. why do politicians initiate health care reforms so often?), management theory (e.g. what are the appropriate tools and structures for managing hospitals?), and economic evaluation theory (e.g. what are the costs and benefits of a new drug?). The examples of study questions show that health economics makes only sense as a combination of theoretical and empirical research.
