The primary purpose of HADM 321 is to introduce you to the field of health care economics. Like other economics courses, Health Care Economics is primarily concerned with how scarce resources are allocated. Much of the material presented in this course is similar to that found in an introductory economics course, but the emphasis here is on how concepts such as supply and demand, cost, and utility are applied to the health care sector. In this course students examine how the economic behaviours of health care consumers and suppliers, particularly in Canada, affect the manner in which resources are allocated.
Each unit specifies learning objectives that students are encouraged to achieve in order to successfully complete the course. The course, as a whole, has been designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills that you will need to achieve the following:
- describe and discuss the concepts of health status and health care utilization, and the relationship between the two.
- describe the organization of the health care system in Canada, in terms of specific economic dimensions.
- use economic analysis to predict patterns of health care utilization.
HADM 321 comprises the following nine units:
- Unit 1: Introduction to Health Care Economics
- Unit 2: Outputs and Outcomes—The Products of the Health Care System
- Unit 3: Economic Dimensions of the Canadian Health Care System
- Unit 4: The Demand for Health Care
- Unit 5: Cost
- Unit 6: Supply of Health Care Services
- Unit 7: Demand and Supply
- Unit 8: Specific Market Models used in Health Care
- Unit 9: The Labour Market
To receive credit for HADM 321, you must complete all assessments, achieve a course composite grade of at least D (50 %) and a grade of at least 50% on the final examination.
The final examination for this course must be requested in advance and written under the supervision of an AU-approved exam invigilator. Invigilators include either ProctorU or an approved in-person invigilation centre that can accommodate online exams. Students are responsible for payment of any invigilation fees. Information on exam request deadlines, invigilators, and other exam-related questions, can be found at the Exams and grades section of the Calendar.

Description
This course follows on from the Intermediate Microeconomics sequence taught at stage 2. The primary focus is on applying fundamental mathematical tools and techniques for modelling standard microeconomics problems involving consumers, producers and markets. Techniques in both algebra and calculus will be used. The main objective is to show students how a selection of standard microeconomics problems can be modelled in terms of constrained optimisation, solving those problems, and above all, analysing the solutions.
This course extends the material from ECON207 and ECON208 by looking at a series of “general equilibrium” settings. The main model employed throughout is the Edgeworth box, which was already seen in ECON207. Topics covered include equilibrium under pure exchange with bargaining, perfect competition pricing, monopoly pricing, equilibrium with production, the Edgeworth box under risk, and equilibrium under asymmetric information.

HADM/ECON 321. Help! Just started this course. I reviewed the course material and study guide, and it's giving me anxieties already. There seems to be very little information on final exam prep and overall a lot of textbook and supplementary readings. The assignments look intimidating and provide little instructions on how to complete them.
