Center for Health Economics

On November 22, Ross DeVol spoke about the economic burden of chronic disease at the International Summit Forum on Chinese Medical and Health System Reform hosted by Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, and Hunan Provincial Government. Click here to view presentation.
By 2014, it is estimated that the health-care industry in the United States will account for 17 percent of the country's GDP, or more than $3 trillion. The Center for Health Economics studies the impact of this industry on the overall economy. Our health economists provide valuable data on the sector, assisting government and business leaders as they determine what policies and actions would drive solutions to our current and future health-care challenges.

The Milken Institute Center for Health Economics specializes in:
analyzing current and projected conditions that impact the role that health-care industries and organizations play in regional economic development and job creation
examining the impact that current health-care trends—including a growing elderly population and the rise of some chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease—will have on businesses, individuals and the overall economy and providing recommendations for decision makers to reduce the growing burden of health-care costs
assessing the ability of global research institutions to transfer their important life-science discoveries into marketable projects—a powerful economic development tool.
