Essentials of Economics and Finance for Global Health

This course provides an introduction to health economics, with an emphasis on evaluating costs and cost-effectiveness of public health interventions and programs in resource-constrained settings, such as developing countries. The course does not assume prior training in economics, and provides a foundation in the concepts, theory, and methods of health economics. However, the course emphasizes skills needed to complete applied evaluations in real-world settings, with practical applications of quantitative frameworks on both problem sets and exams.
