The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Derived demand
the demand for medical care is derived from the demand for health, and is inversely related to price
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

The production function for health
- IN economics, production is depicted as a functional relationship showing ho inputs are combined to produce an output
-The health production function summarizes the relationship between health status and the various factors that may be use to produce good health
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Total product curve
-A positively sloped function that increases at a decreasing rate
-As the amount of medical care spending increases, health status improves
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Law of diminishing returns
States that as more and more of a variable input is added to a fixed input, ( in this case a person) eventually the additional output one gets from that additional input falls
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

marginal product curve
illustrates the incremental impact on health care from a one unit change in menial care spending
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Iatrogenic disease
an injury or illness resulting from medical treatment
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

economic efficiency
minimizing the cost of achieving the maximum output
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

mortality
the probability of death at different ages
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Mortality rates
- are declining in the U.S
a) The leading cause of death varies considerably by age
b)For ages 1-44 the leading cause if accidents:
45-64 is cancer:
over 65 is heart disease
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

morbidity
The incidence and probability of illness or disability

To measure health status using a single quality of life measure

The determinants of health status
1-income and education
2-environmental and lifestyle factors
3-genetic factors
4-the role of public health and nutrition
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Income elasticity of demand
the percentage change in demand divided by the percentage change in income
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Cross-price elasticity of demand
- as the percentage change in demand dived by the percentage change in the price of another good
-it tells us the responsiveness of demand to changes in prices of other goods
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Normal goods
those who's consumption increase with an increase income --have income elasticities greater than zero
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

Luxuries
-goods that have an income elasticity granter than one
- their percentage increase is greater than the percentage increase in income
Inferior goods
those who's consumption decreased as income increase-- have income elastics of less than zero

example: dried milk
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

substitutes
-goods that can be used to place of another good
-When the prince of a good goes up, the demand for the substitute good also goes up. a positive number
The Demand for Health and Health Care:

complements
-goods that are used in conjunction with other good
