The concern of this paper lies with the economic theory of the "demand for health". It develops a conceptual apparatus for analysing the interaction of socioeconomic determinants of health and indicates how this can be used to shed light on a variety of topical policy issues such as socioeconomic inequalities in health and the design of prevention policies. It is written with the aim of making what has hitherto been a mathematically sophisticated literature accessible to the non-economist.
本文关注的是“健康需求”的经济理论。它构建了一个概念框架,用于分析健康的社会经济决定因素之间的相互作用,并指出如何利用这一框架来阐明各种热门政策问题,如健康方面的社会经济不平等以及预防政策的设计。本文的写作目的是让非经济学家也能读懂迄今为止在数学上较为复杂的相关文献。
