Jena (health economics, RAND Corporation) and Philipson (public policy, U. of Chicago) argue that cost-effective approaches to health care programs discourage innovation among medical companies since profits are minimized. In this relatively brief book, the authors maintain that policymakers should provide additional incentives for these companies in order to fund further research and development, and that cost-cutting measures may improve the bottom line in a short-term analysis but will ultimately lower the quality of health care in the long run. Written for health care professionals, this book offers useful appendices that provide survival rates for AIDS as well as mathematical formulas used to calculate surplus appropriation and cost-effectiveness under Constant-Elasticity Demand.
