Which of the following is NOT a common application of health economics?

  1. Cost-benefit analysis

  2. Cost-effectiveness analysis

  3. Demand for health care

  4. Supply of health care


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Demand for health care is not a common application of health economics because it is typically studied by health services researchers.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of cost-benefit analysis?

  1. Cost-utility analysis

  2. Cost-effectiveness analysis

  3. Return on investment analysis

  4. Benefit-cost ratio analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Return on investment analysis is not a common type of cost-benefit analysis because it is typically used to evaluate financial investments, not health care interventions.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of cost-effectiveness analysis?

  1. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio

  2. Number needed to treat

  3. Quality-adjusted life year

  4. Disability-adjusted life year


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Number needed to treat is not a common type of cost-effectiveness analysis because it is typically used to evaluate the effectiveness of a health care intervention, not its cost-effectiveness.

Which of the following is NOT a common factor that affects the demand for health care?

  1. Price

  2. Income

  3. Education

  4. Age


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Education is not a common factor that affects the demand for health care because it is typically not a significant predictor of health care utilization.

Which of the following is NOT a common factor that affects the supply of health care?

  1. Number of physicians

  2. Number of hospitals

  3. Cost of medical care

  4. Government regulations


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cost of medical care is not a common factor that affects the supply of health care because it is typically not a significant predictor of the number of physicians or hospitals.

Which of the following is NOT a common challenge in conducting health economic evaluations?

  1. Lack of data

  2. Uncertainty

  3. Ethical considerations

  4. Political considerations


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Political considerations are not a common challenge in conducting health economic evaluations because they are typically not a significant factor in the design or conduct of the evaluation.

Which of the following is NOT a common use of health economic evaluations?

  1. Informing policy decisions

  2. Prioritizing health care interventions

  3. Allocating resources

  4. Evaluating the performance of health care providers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Evaluating the performance of health care providers is not a common use of health economic evaluations because it is typically not a significant factor in the design or conduct of the evaluation.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of health economic model?

  1. Decision tree

  2. Markov model

  3. Microsimulation model

  4. Econometric model


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Econometric models are not a common type of health economic model because they are typically used to estimate the relationship between health care costs and outcomes, not to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of health care interventions.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of health economic data?

  1. Claims data

  2. Electronic health record data

  3. Survey data

  4. Experimental data


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Experimental data is not a common type of health economic data because it is typically not collected in the context of health economic evaluations.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of health economic analysis?

  1. Cost-benefit analysis

  2. Cost-effectiveness analysis

  3. Cost-utility analysis

  4. Return on investment analysis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Return on investment analysis is not a common type of health economic analysis because it is typically used to evaluate financial investments, not health care interventions.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of health economic model?

  1. Decision tree

  2. Markov model

  3. Microsimulation model

  4. Econometric model


Correct Option: D
