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 cost
- assessing the ability of global research institutions to transfer their important life-science discoveries into marketable projects-a powerful economic development tool.

The Milken Institute produces research of very high quality, research around issues that are topical, relevant and insightful. Most importantly, the research is objective. It's fair. It's nonpartisan....The Milken Institute's ideas are so powerful because they're based on the idea of free markets and the free flow of capital. That human capital, ideas and innovation combined with financial capital can change the lives of every person on this planet."
