RESTREPO ZEA, Jairo Humberto  e  RAMIREZ GOMEZ, Laura. Two decades of health economics in Colombia. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.79, pp.249-278. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v39n79.73067.

Health Economics is recognized since Mushkin (1958) and Arrow (1963). Intellectual production has grown dramatically. In Colombia, the health system reform of 1993 implied a higher demand for economic analysis applied to health, which was reflected in a publication boom especially between 1995 and 2005. This article analyzes the development of Health Economics in Colombia, through an inventory of national and international publications up to 2015 and the crucial moments in the development of the academic community and its incidence in public politics. Also, it is considered a consultation of experts about recognition and perspectives of the area.
