A distinguished group of noted health care economists explores the new and rapidly growing field of mental health economics. They discuss the issue of care for the severely ill as influenced by differing modes of reimbursement, offer labour market analyses, analyze the interaction of insurance and the demand for care, and present case studies that outline experimental systems of delivering health care.
