 The economics of inequality in health: A bibliographyJoão Pereira Social Science & Medicine, 1990, vol. 31, issue 3, 413-420 Abstract: Economists have until recently taken a back-seat in the debate on inequality and health, despite various suggestions that economic science has much to contribute to the clarification of issues surrounding that polemic. This article presents a bibliography of English-language sources which explicitly consider the economics of inequality in the health domain or present methods which might suitably inform the debate. Initially, an introductory guide to the literature is presented, followed by the bibliography itself. This second section is divided into four distinct parts in order to facilitate use: works of a general economic nature, including those on the measurement and extent of inequality; discussions of normative aspects of equity in health; positive analyses drawing on models of the demand for health and medical care; and a final sub-section that groups works from other disciplines which are indispensable background for future work by economists.
