Health Economics by Jay Bhattacharya, Timothy Hyde, and Peter Tu is a textbook in economics and public health that introduces the core analytical tools used to study how health care markets work, how people make health-related choices, and how policy changes affect access, cost, and outcomes. Published in 2013, it is aimed at readers who want a structured, model-based account of modern health economics rather than a purely descriptive survey. The book is notable for combining formal economic reasoning with real-world explanations, which makes it useful in both undergraduate and graduate settings. Its scope is broad enough to cover the main pillars of the field, including demand for care, supply-side issues, information problems, insurance, and policy evaluation. At the same time, it reflects an international perspective, so the discussion is not limited to one country’s health system. This makes it especially relevant for readers who want to understand health care as a market shaped by incentives, uncertainty, and regulation.
