Michael Hagan (Northwestern) “The Alice in Wonderland Model of Irrational Decision Making in Healthcare”

Since it is basically inelastic, Healthcare provides unique challenges to economists.  In this short seminar we will explore several case studies in Healthcare. Emphasis is placed on the ramifications and consequences of public pressure in policy making as well as patient irrationality in making decisions that affect their own health.
