This volume reflects both the main issues confronting health
economics and the state of the art in health economics a decade
before the end of the twentieth century. It contains a selection
from almost 150 papers presented at the Second World Congress on
Health Economics, held at the University of ZUrich, Switzerland,
10-14 September 1990. This is ten years after the last Congress
(held in Leiden, The Netherlands) and more than 17 years after the
Tokyo meeting organized by the International Economic Associ ation
(which might be called the First World Congress were it not for its
small size and symposium-like character). Out of the 16 papers
appearing in this book, only four were invited, and they were
refereed like all the others. The remaining contributions are
survivors of stiff competition. However, in spite of the large
sample of papers we were able to draw from, certain gaps of
coverage persist. In particular, environmental impacts on health
were designated as a field of priority interest in the call for
papers to this Congress. Yet, not even half a dozen contribu tions
were submitted, which is remarkable in view of the intense interest
of the public in the health effects of environmental degradation,
ranging from noise level to ozone concentration. Another specially
designed field was the political economy of health, dealing with
the behavior of policy makers when deciding about changes in the
health care systems. It did not attract as many contributions as we
had hoped for or expected."
