Description

This volume examines the integration of economics and moral philosophy, arguing that valuation and analysis in health economics and health programs should be based on recent innovative research. An appropriate integration of moral philosophy in the area of health economic has yet to been done. The objectives of this book are to modify the existing economic theory of health analysis by integrating the issues and principles of moral philosophy and develop some operational mathematical models to show how the proposed framework for integration of moral philosophy in the area of health economic can be applied to health economics and policy evaluation.
