Advances in medical technology convey the prospect of both improved population health and increased general welfare. However, because of the extensive regulation of the markets for healthcare goods and services, the development and application of medical technologies differs fundamentally from non-medical technological advances. In this volume of the Advances in Health Economics and Health Services Research series we present several papers that provide theoretical and empirical evidence about the market for medical technology.Advances in health economics and health services research ;v. 23.MedicalAllied Health ServicesMedical TechnologybisacshBusiness & EconomicsPublic FinancebisacshMedicalPharmacologybisacshHealth economicsbicsscHealth systems & servicesbicsscMedical technologyEconomic aspectsMedicalAllied Health ServicesMedical Technology.Business & EconomicsPublic Finance.MedicalPharmacology.Health economics.Health systems & services.Medical technologyEconomic aspects.338.4361028Bolin Kristian1656942Kaestner Robert1656943UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910807920803321The economics of medical technology4010087UNINA
