Abstract

Health Economics has reached a significant degree of maturity in recent times, which allows it to have generated sufficient knowledge (both theoretical and empirical evidence) to be able to transcend the results obtained to the application of health policies. All these reasons are more than enough for the discipline of Health Economics to be present in the editors of Studies in Applied Economics. The compilation of articles contained in this issue, whose coordination we gladly accept at the invitation of the editors of this Journal, therefore represents a current review of many of the main aspects of the discipline and a good example of its concerns, not only from the point of view of the public powers but of the population in general.
