Der Band erscheint zum 10. Jahrestag der Europäischen Workshop-Reihe "Econometrics and Health Economics".

Da in der Gesundheitsökonomie verstärkt Einzelerhebungen zum Einsatz kommen, wird es für Forscher immer wichtiger, sich mit mikroökonometrischen Verfahren gut auszukennen.

Dieser Band bietet dem Leser einen leichten Zugang zu einer Sammlung aktueller Beiträge zu innovativen Anwendungen mikroökonometrischer Methoden im Bereich Gesundheit und Gesundheitsvorsorge.

Die Beiträge wurden aus Workshop-Protokollen ausgewählt, die in der Fachpublikation "Health Economics" veröffentlicht wurden.

Diskutiert werden u.a. Latente Variablen, unbeobachtbare Heterogenität und Selektionsprobleme, Zähldaten und Überlebensanalyse, klassische - und Simulationsmethoden für Paneldaten.
