AB I  have  taught  a  course  on  the  US  healthcare  system  for  a  long  time  to  an  MBA  audience  at  3  different  institutions:  the  Universities  of  Chicago,  Arizona,  and  Pennsylvania.  The  MBAs  are  a  demanding  set  of  students—not  necessarily  interested  in  academic  theory  or  research,  but  very  much  interested  in  how  the  system  actually  works  and,  more  importantly,  where  the  growth  and  investment  opportunities  lie.  This  is  not  really  the  academician’s  strength;  we  are  not  trained  to  focus  on  these  issues  in  our  research.  By  contrast,  the  MBA  students  frequently  have  industry  experience  and  often  know  more  about  certain  topics  than  we  professors  do.  This  makes  for  a  very  uncomfortable  “information  asymmetry”  in  class.
