Health Economics in Development
The papers in this collection span 21
years of thinking and writing about health economics, first
at the Pan American Health Organization (1982-1990) and then
at the World Bank (1990-2002, including two years,
1999-2001, on secondment to the World Health Organization).
They are divided into six general topics, which together
touch on several of the major issues in this field. Chapters
1 through 3 concern the connection between health,
particularly public health, and economics-a connection that
has occupied much of my professional effort, in part because
I started to work on the subject in an organization
dominated by public health professionals, and only later
moved to an organization dominated by other economists.
Chapters 4 through 6 treat several different aspects of
equity, while chapters 7 through 17 deal with effectiveness
and efficiency, first in general terms and then with
specific attention to communicable diseases and to
malnutrition. Equity and efficiency are among the main
issues in any branch of economics, and-as several chapters
illustrate-they often cannot be sharply separated. Chapters
18 through 20 concern how health is, and how it should be,
paid for-questions that involve both equity and efficiency.
