This edition contains two new chapters. Chapter 25 looks at economic "bads." Economists like to look at things that are good for us, but some things such as cigarettes are not. Chapter 26 is an entirely new chapter on pharmaceuticals. Rather than a simple "industry study," we look at those portions of the pharmaceutical industry with particularly novel economic contents. These include questions as to the optimal combinations of drug therapies and other economic technologies, the appropriate amount of patent protection that an industry (in this case the pharmaceutical industry) should enjoy, and price discrimination by pharmaceutical firms (or why drugs are cheaper in Mexico than in the United States). In the 26 chapters, Folland (economics, Oakland U.), Allen C. Goodman (economics, Wayne State U.) and Miron Stano (economics and management, Oakland U.) provide analytic tools of economics and econometrics as applied to contemporary health issues.
