Comment from the Stata technical group
Applied Econometrics for Health Economists: A
Practical Guide, Second Edition, by Andrew Jones intuitively discusses
the major methods used in applied health economics. In each discussion,
Jones uses Stata to analyze real data and interprets the results. Because
the discussions are concise, are intuitive, and relegate all equations to an
appendix, this book is an excellent choice for students or researchers who
need quick, but surprisingly complete, introductions to or reviews of the
main health-econometric methods for individual-level data.
As is clear from the table of contents below, the book’s coverage is
thorough. Each chapter is short and quickly covers an important topic for
applied health economics. The combination of these first-rate short
discussions and the illustrative Stata examples ensure that both students
and researchers will widely use this book.
