Abstract:
What is the benefit of the federal state's investment in and funding of both high-level medical education and health care? The main question is whether the benefit justifies the necessary costs of these institutions. This article seeks to present a model for calculating the economic benefits and other effects of a medical institution for the government investor and financier on the basis of a case study of a German medical faculty. In the end the medical faculty's negotiating position was enhanced on the basis of the monetary results of this expert opinion.
