The Economics of Health Virtual Issue

The economics of health is an increasingly important topic. Many countries are wrestling with ever growing health-care costs and ever growing demands on their health services, with ageing populations adding to the pressures in many western countries. This online collection of articles, books and reference works brings together a range of publishing that provides the latest research on many health-economics issues. Areas covered range from health insurance, preventives versus treatment, and the effect of pollution on health, through to competition between hospitals, obesity and diet, and how advances in HIV treatment affect sexual behaviour. It even touches on historical topics such as the relationship between plague in 17th Century and the economic decline of Italy. The current issue of Oxford Review of Economic Policy focuses on the economics of health, and several articles from this issue are included.
