It examines the efficiency, effectiveness, value, and behavior in the production and consumption of health and healthcare. Health economists analyze data to help inform policy decisions, improve healthcare delivery, and ensure that resources are used in a way that maximizes public health benefits. Their work can influence everything from insurance policy to pharmaceutical pricing and public health interventions.
