Comprehensive, concise and easily accessible, this is the first health economics dictionary of its kind and is an essential reference tool for everyone involved, or interested in, healthcare. The modern terminology of health economics and relevant terms used by economists working in the fields of epidemiology, public health, decision management and policy studies are all clearly explained. Combined with hundreds of key terms, the skillful use of examples, figures, tables and a simple cross-referencing system between definitions, allows the often complex language of health economics to be demystified.
There are now nearly 3,000 entries in this comprehensive work. This third edition includes 250 new references as sources for definitions and examples of practice and the bibliography comprises roughly 1,400 items.
