Economics of Mental Health
Abstract
Consider the recent explosive growth of the area of economics and mental health. In the late 1970s, when the Division of Biometry and Epidemiology of the National Institute of Mental Health began to develop the field,1 there were then no well-recognized authorities, nor a significant bibliography; by 1987, a publication was forthcoming every two weeks. Doctoral training programs have now been initiated in several schools. Today we have an established body of knowledge, recognized specialists, and a flow of talented students and researchers. Let us consider herewith recent and current developments in this field.
