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. 410 0$aAdvances in health economics and health services research ;$vv. 23. 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aMedical economics$zUnited States 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aMedical economics 676 $a338.4361028 701 $aBolin$b Krstian$01753095 701 $aKaestner$b Robert$01656943 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807920803321 996 $aAdvances in health economics and health services research$94188666 997 $aUNINA
