Summary:Health care costs represent nearly 18 percent of US gross domestic product and 20 percent of government spending. While there is detailed information on where these health care dollars are spent, there is much less evidence on how this spending affects health. The research in this volume seeks to connect out knowledge of expenditures with measurable results, probing questions of methodology, changes in the pharmaceutical industry, and the shifting landscape of physician practice. the research in this volume investigates, for example, obesity's effect on health care spending, the effect of generic pharmaceutical releases, and the disparity between disease-based and population-based spending measures. This vast and varied volume applies a range of economic tools to the analysis of health care and health outcomes.
