The Economic Epidemiology Page
Introduction
This page is intended as a collection of resources on
economic epidemiology and related topics. It is by nature a work in progress
and you are invited to contribute any relevant information you have, such as
conference announcements, new papers and other things that you believe may be
of interest to the relevant research and policy community.
If you are new to the subject, you can read an
excellent introduction in: Gersovitz, M. and J. S. Hammer (2003): Infectious
Diseases, Public Policy and the Marriage of Economics and Epidemiology, World
Bank Research Observer, 18(2), 129-157. Online version can be found here.
Another great introduction is: Philipson, T. (2000):
Economic Epidemiology and Infectious Disease, Handbook of Health
Economics,
volume 1B, Part 8; Cuyler, A. J. and J. P. Newhouse (eds.),
Amsterdam: North Holland.
News and Announcements
The Seminar Series on Economic Epidemiology (supported by CReMic) will resume next term
(Lent 2010).
Bibliography
on Economic Epidemiology
NB: There
are now too many papers on the topic for me to keep track of and I will
therefore not be updating the file regularly.
