Reviews for Determinants of Health: An Economic Perspective

A volume of Grossman's selected works is long overdue. One of the founders of the field of health economics, he has been an incredibly prolific researcher, and there is enormous value to having his seminal papers available in book form.
Joseph Newhouse, Harvard University They say that success has many fathers - and one clear share of paternity for ... Read morethe incredibly successful field of health economics belongs to Mike Grossman. His work on health capital defined the framework for economists' modeling health outcomes, and his broad empirical agenda has led the way in applying the model. And his research agenda on addictive behaviors paved the way for the entry of this area into mainstream health economics. This book is a terrific chance for those inside and outside the field to reflect on Mike's many accomplishments.
Jonathan Gruber, MIT Michael Grossman is one of the founders of the field of health economics, who has contributed enormously to our understanding of the demand for health, the relationship between education and health, determinants of infant health, and the economics of risky health behaviors. This volume of his best, most often-cited articles (which are required reading in graduate courses in health economics) is long overdue. I use and cite these papers routinely, and this volume will have a prominent place on my bookshelf, next to the works of Gary Becker.
John Cawley, Cornell University, coeditor of the Journal of Health Economics This volume collects papers that rest on and flow from Michael Grossman's seminal 1972 model of health capital. The coherent and impressive body of work informs and serves as a hypothesis generating machine. Discerning readers will be inspired to push the frontier of knowledge about the rational production of health.
Dean Lillard, The Ohio State University Michael Grossman was the original intellectual leader in the economics of population health and health behaviors, and his leadership internationally has persisted over five decades. This book assembles his work from disparate sources in one place. His commentaries on his studies provide helpful perspective, especially for relative newcomers to the field. However, even old-timers are likely to discover papers relevant to their own work that they wish they had read previously.
