- Draw a graph and an argument about how increases in health due to one medical innovation can lead to improvements in health that are not directly affected by that innovation. Does it matter the demographic properties of those individuals whose health is improved by the initial innovation?arrow_forwardWhile it may seem intuitively obvious that health expenditures will increase as a population ages – older people after all are less healthy on average than younger people in fact, several prominent health economists have argued that it is not aging per se, but rather some of the correlates of an aging population that cause health expenditures to rise as a population ages. For instance, Getzen (1992) argues that, at least in part, rising health expenditures with an aging population are due to the higher incomes and resources of the older population; health care is a normal good, so higher incomes lead to higher expenditures. In a similar manner, Zweifel et al. (1999) argue that the real problem with an aging population, at least as far as health care costs are concerned, is that there will be more people who are within a couple of years of dying. Since health care expenditures rise sharply close to the end of life, it is this, rather than population aging by itself, that leads to higher…arrow_forwardWhy would increased spending as a percentage of GDP on, say, household appliances or education in a particular economy be regarded as economically desirable?

- Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the problem with using life expectancy as a measure of health? Though there used to be a strong relationship between income and life expectancy, these differences have all but disappeared with the spread of modern medicine to even the poorest countries. Increases in life expectancy in both developed and developing countries are driven by improvements in old- age health, so we do not get an accurate picture of child mortality. Life expectancy gives you the average for a country, but overlooks significant differences between groups within countries. Cross country differences in life expectancy at birth are much smaller than differences in life expectancy at age 15 since there are such large differences in old-age health across countries.arrow_forwardWhat are the differences and similarities between health economics and other forms of economic study?arrow_forwardBriefly discuss characteristics of the Swiss health care system.arrow_forward
