Abstract

Se formula una nueva propuesta sobre la economía de la salud que involucre a las instituciones. Las decisiones relacionadas con la salud se toman bajo algún tipo de incertidumbre, en especial en lo que tiene que ver con las instituciones que se ocupan o se desenvuelven en esta área. El abordar estas instituciones de una manera seria permite que pasemos de la economía de la atención médica (lugar en dónde se concentran la mayor parte de las investigaciones) a una economía real de la salud. Este paso también permite que expliquemos el aumento del gasto en salud como un resultado de la interacción entre las instituciones sociales. En este enfoque, la unidad del análisis se ha desplazado más hacia la norma que hacia algún agente individual; en resumidas cuentas, el agente del estudio es la institución.
