這本書介紹健康經濟學中正在成長的研究領域，並利用實證證據連結經濟概念，以加深讀者對健康照護體系與市場運作在經濟層面上的理解，而不是在沒有理論背景下討論全球健康體系的細節。此外並以個體經濟學與總體經濟學的角度詮釋這個主題，即從個人與廠商、到市場層次、再到整個經濟體系中健康與健康照護在總體經濟的角色。 這本書討論了美國健康體系最近的實證證據，

The pharmaceutical industry worldwide is a rapidly burgeoning industry contributing to growth of gross domestic product and employment. Technological change in this field has been very rapid, with many new products being introduced. For this reason in part, health care budgets throughout the world have increased dramatically, eliciting growing pressures for cost containment. This book explores four important issues in pharmaceutical innovations: (1) the industry structure of pharmaceutical innovation; (2) incentives for correcting market failures in allocating resources for research and development; (3) competition and marketing; and (4) public evaluation of the benefits and costs of innovation. The lessons are applicable to countries all over the world, at all levels of economic development. By discussing existing evidence this book proposes incentive arrangements to accomplish social objectives.

As expenditure on health care has increasingly become an area of public debate and concern, public and private health care decision-makers have called for more rigorous use of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis to guide spending. Concerns have arisen, however, about the overall quality of such analyses. This book discusses and evaluates best-practice methods of conducting cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness studies of pharmaceuticals and other medical technologies. It encompasses a wide variety of topics, ranging from measuring cost and effectiveness to discounting to the use of dynamic modelling of cost-effectiveness. The book also includes conceptual and practical aspects of cost-effectiveness analysis by researchers who have conducted applied research in these areas. Rarely does the book provide a singular solution to a measurement problem; rather, the reader is directed to choices among alternative approaches and an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

醫療經濟學基本上是一門跨領域的學科，不僅要具有經濟學的基礎知識，也需要了解醫療體系的實際運作情形。因不同國家醫療體系的差異，導致所面臨的健康照護問題情境也會有所不同，這使得醫療經濟所討論的議題內容大部分較為在地化。因此，本書在先前國外已有的文獻基礎上，亦加入了該領域中較新或與臺灣相關的文獻與議題討論。例如，有關臺灣藥價差問題的探討。此外，因許多醫療經濟學的研究是採用量化分析方法，本書在首章介紹了目
