Books in the Research in Human Capital and Development series

Three important issues have attracted researchers to study the economics of disability such as: the availability of sophisticated "data sets"; the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1991; and growth in public and private costs of disability support programs. This work brings together studies dealing with these three issues.

This volume presents studies contributing to the enhancement of the outcomes research paradigm on public health by incorporating economic and social interactions within the health care delivery, clinical decision-making and outcomes systems.
