Opis

The first edition of this book did an expert job of showing how the availability of large scale data sets and the rapid advancement of advanced econometric techniques can help health economists and health professionals make sense of information better than ever before. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout.

Recenzje

'Jones et al. provide an excellent introduction to the methods used by health economists for the statistical analysis of survey data ... Notwithstanding the health focus, the book will be a useful handbook for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in many fields in addition to health.' - Stephen P. Jenkins, The Stata Journal  

'I would strongly recommend using Applied Health Economics on advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in health economics.' - Martin Karlsson, Institute of Ageing, University of Oxford, UK
