US doesn't really do cost effectiveness analyses.
The US health care system will not be efficient so long as it's focused on maximizing profits rather than maximizing health.
An interesting and related read is The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care by TR Reid

Taking a break today to catch up on lecture slides, file files, and work on my reading list.
Reading right now:
Still mulling over my long response to a /r/badeconomics post which claims that theories can be refuted. Channeling Dani Rodrik soon enough.
Edit: I thought you were referring to neighborhood tipping, not restaurant tipping. Disregard this then.
A chapter in this book describes the Schelling Model of neighborhood tipping very well. It's the place to start. Then there's Schelling's original and very well-cited article in the Journal of Mathematical Sociology.So neighborhoods can be seen as complex networks of heterogeneous agents with varying levels of tolerance of and preference for diversity. You might want to read up on agent-based modeling in economics and see how it relates to tipping models. Link1. Link2. Link3.Start with the Schelling articles and search for "segregation," "tipping," and "Schelling" in your university's journal database. Hope this helps.I don't do macro, but someone suggest modern macro to me the other day as something that isn't a text book.
