Public policies and private anti-health behavior
Article Abstract:
The National Bureau of Economic Research's (NBER) program in Health Economics and the program in Health Care Economics define the difference between health as an output and health care as an input. The NBER Health Economics program has evaluated the impact of public policies on cigarette smoking, drinking and alcohol abuse and drug abuse. Results showed that policies that lowered incidence for buying illicit substances, such as setting higher prices, reduced product abuses.
