Health and Economic Growth

Findings and Policy Implications
Edited by Guillem López-Casasnovas, Berta Rivera and Luis Currais

While human capital is a clear determinant of economic growth, only recently has health's role in this process become a focus of serious academic inquiry. By marrying the separate fields of health economics and growth theory, this groundbreaking book explores the explicit mechanisms by which a population's individual and collective health status affects a nation's economic development and performance.
