This 3-volume work offers a substantial collection of 65 previously published articles, selected by Cawley and Kenkel (both are in the department of policy analysis and management, Cornell U. and the National Bureau of economic research), offering a thorough overview of the history and current state of research in the field. Presented in facsimile of the original, without additional commentary by the editors, and include all their original notes and bibliography, the papers are grouped into topics that include the household production of health, empirical tests of the model of rational addiction, predicting and explaining unhealthy behaviors, and public policies and health behaviours. The articles offer case studies, analysis, and perspectives on trends and circumstances worldwide, with alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking a frequent topic. They were originally published in journals that include Journal of health economics, Journal of the Royal statistics society, Journal of econometrics and the American economic review. The volumes include a name, but no subject index. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
