Healthcare Economics
Behavioral economics is a field of study that examines how psychological factors and social influences affect economic decision-making. It integrates insights from psychology with traditional economic theories to better understand how people make choices, often leading to decisions that deviate from rational economic models. This understanding is particularly relevant in healthcare, where individuals' perceptions, biases, and emotions can significantly influence their demand for services.
