Growing world trade created a need and technological development introduced options to improve general information transmission. Starting in the 1830s, a network of steamships, railways, canals and telegraphs was gradually built to connect different parts of the world. The book explains how the rate of information circulation increased many times over as mail systems were developed. Nevertheless, regional differences were huge. While improvements on the most significant trade routes between Europe, the Americas and East India were considered crucial, distant places such as California or Australia had to wait for gold fever to become important enough for regular communications. The growth of passenger services, especially for emigrants, was a major factor increasing the number of mail sailings. The study covers the period from the Napoleonic wars to the foundation of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and includes the development of overseas business information transmission from the days of sailing ships to steamers and the telegraph."Studia Fennica.Historica ;13.International tradeHistory19th centuryPostal serviceInternational cooperationHistory19th centuryInternational tradeHistoryPostal serviceInternational cooperationHistory383Laakso Seija-Riitta985436AuAdUSAAuAdUSAUkMaJRU9910153746503321Across the oceans2252506UNINA03545nam 2200433 450 991082177430332120200817215500.01-64055-164-6(CKB)4100000011209750(MiAaPQ)EBC6186441(EXLCZ)99410000001120975020200817d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHealth insurance /Michael A.

But what's going on under the hood? Health Insurance, Third Edition, helps students with the nuts and bolts. Bridging the gap between introductory economics courses and the field of healthcare administration, the book applies economic theory to the real world to explain why the health insurance market functions the way it does. Author Michael Morrisey, in a straightforward style, clearly explains such difficult concepts as adverse selection, moral hazard, managed care, and employer-sponsored health insurance. The book is distinguished by its in-depth discussion of research in health economics, both cutting edge and classic. It clarifies additional concepts like risk adjustment, demand, health savings accounts, selective contracting, the diversity of health insurance markets, and the functioning of Medicare and Medicaid. This third edition has been substantially revised to reflect the rapid evolution of the health field. Throughout, data used are the most recent available. Though health insurance has been a major player in the American healthcare system for decades, it's hardly static. This new edition of Health Insurance keeps pace with the changes while also keeping up on the basics"--Provided by publisher.Health insuranceUnited StatesUnited StatesHealth insurance368.38200973Morrisey Michael A.1642202Association of University Programs in Health Administration,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821774303321Health insurance3986786UNINA
