Excellent technical introduction to the field of health economics. The examples and exercises were particularly helpful.

However, would not recommend to anyone who's not a health economist. Unless you just really love Markov chains :)

I hope it has an 'only one bed' trope

I read and learn from this book as I took the course about Modelling in Health Economics. This book focuses more on the Markov model using Excel software. It is a very practical book which guides me step-by-step in making a Markov model by myself. A very impressing thing on it is the exercise part which is details and easy to follow. I feel more confident and understand more after reading and doing exercise in this book.
Another amazing thing is the reference link accompanied by the book: https://www.herc.ox.ac.uk/downloads
From the above link, I can explore so many exciting things in Health Economic Evaluation, especially in genomic testing which is my interest. Thank you all the authors.
