Health Policy and High-Tech Industrial Development

Edited by Marco Di Tommaso () and Stuart O. Schweitzer

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: By weaving together the fields of health economics, industrial organisation and industrial development, this book describes the benefits of promoting a country’s health industry as a way of stimulating its high-technology industrial capacity. The authors illustrate that the development of a country’s health industry not only improves the country’s health status, but also promotes an industry with relatively stable, high-wage employment, creates the potential for exporting goods and services, and produces scientific spillovers that will favourably impact other high-technology industries.
