Is there a measurable health return to this consumption? Other health care, diet, high national income-what determinants of health have the most impact? A new focus on the effects of health care and pharma- ceuticals adds a dimension to the many existing studies of health care expenditures, even those that have considered the determinants of health. Correcting the flaws of the few earlier international comparisons, H. E. Frech Ill and Richard D. Miller Jr. analyze a sample of twenty-one nations and provide a comprehensive basis for measuring the health effect of pharmaceutical consumption. This study will assist the debate of how governments should allocate scarce resources among different health care goods and services, as well as between health care and other goods and services. H. E. Frech III is a professor of economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an adjunct scholar at AEL Richard D. Miller Jr. is a research analyst with the Center for Naval Analyses, Alexandria, Virginia. ISBN 084477124-4 51495 9 780844 771243
