Frontiers in Health Policy Research
Introduction
Frontiers in Health Policy Research presents timely economic research on health care and health policy issues. Each volume contains papers from an annual conference of researchers, government officials, and policy experts.
Frontiers in Health Policy Research is published in conjunction with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Prior to volume 8, annual volumes were published by MIT Press. The Berkeley Electronic Press will shortly make past volumes available via the Forum for Health Economics & Policy site. Bound versions of these are available through MIT Press.
