Quatrième de couverture : "Ce livre invite à réfléchir au système de soins en cherchant à concilier la valeur économique et la valeur intangible du soin. La préservation de la pensée éthique sur le sens du soin est indispensable à l'heure des contraintes gestionnaires. Le monde du soin est structuré et saturé par des valeurs de toutes sortes : celles des professionnels, surtout d'ordre éthique ou scientifique, celles des personnes soignées, d'ordre social, culturel ou familial. La valeur économique est aussi prégnante dans cet univers. Que vaut le soin ? Comment la valeur s'articule-t-elle au coût ? La réponse à ces questions ne se limite pas à déterminer combien coûte le soin. C'est l'ambition de cet ouvrage que de le montrer, à l'heure où les soignants sont soumis à des principes gestionnaires comprimant la valeur des relations humaines, et où s'accroissent les tensions de tous ordres. Pour les professionnels, comme pour les citoyens, la question essentielle est : comment concilier valeur économique et valeurs éthiques ? Les auteurs, chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales et soignants, étudient les enjeux éthiques, économiques et politiques portés par la notion de valeurs. Ils interrogent particulièrement le concept de « soin centré-patient », et la valeur-phare consistant à « (re)mettre le patient au centre », ce qui supposerait qu'un système comme l'organisation des soins ait un centre, et que le patient en aurait été exclu. Ils se penchent aussi sur les enjeux économiques et éthiques des divers types de médecine dite personnalisée, préventive, prédictive, participative et leurs implications, ainsi que sur l'importance de la prise en compte de l'expérience de la personne malade. Ce livre invite à penser le système de soins non pas hors de toute considération économique ou évaluative, mais sans négliger la valeur intangible du soin. La préservation de la réflexion éthique sur le sens du soin est indispensable aux soignants, à la qualité de vie au travail comme à la qualité du soin."

Recent years have witnessed a dramatic surge in applied econometric work in health economics, enhanced by the availability of large micro and macro data sets as well as the rapid development of new techniques and tools in econometrics. Health economics is an important and challenging area of research for applied econometricians, due to complexity embedded in the data, arising from issues such as nonlinearity of models, the presence of individual-level unobserved heterogeneity as well as time and cross sectional dependencies.This book covers a wide range of existing and emerging topics in applied health economics. These include: behavioural economics, medical care risk, social insurance, discrete choice models, cost-effectiveness analysis, health and immigration, vignette approach, response of parental investments to childs health at birth, determinants of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, hospital competition, use of administrative data, spatial health econometrics, health expenditure, and networks.

This book integrates the fundamentals of quantitative significance, using existing estimates of the elasticities of demand for tax, health insurance, and medical services in a static microsimulation model. It serves as a guide to the financial and social basics of health insurance and provides the reader with the intellectual groundwork indispensable for understanding the incorrect assumptions about the elasticities of demand and pattern of tax and health insurance. Most countries feel constant pressure because expenditure is increasing and resources are scarce. The topics addressed in this book including several frameworks leading to over-insurance, excess demand for medical care, and rapid expenditure growth in the medical care sector. Illustrated by carefully chosen examples and supported by extensive data analyses, this book is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of the ever-expanding theoretical and quantitative fields of containing costs, increasing funding for health services, or both.
