• Another look at the comparisons of the health systems expenditure indicators

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem; Maynou Pujolràs, Laia; Saez, Marc (Springer, 2015)

  For policy purposes expenditure in health systems of extremely different natures are often compared without having a clear question to be addressed in such a comparison. For instance, comparisons made among OECD countries ...

• A propósito del aseguramiento sanitario privado

  Ortún Rubio, Vicente (Elsevier, 2011)
