Healthcare
Healthcare markets are characterized from an economic perspective by a few key elements. Because of some of these economic factors, there is extensive government involvement in healthcare markets and operations. Prices have very little impact on consumer demand for healthcare services. There are inherent risks for both consumers and producers in terms of requirements, results, and service costs. Principal-agent issues are common, and information on patients, providers, and other industry participants is highly asymmetric. With activities ranging from research to production to facility management, the healthcare sector covers a wide range of sectors.
