Summary

"On 26-28 August 1993, the Canadian Health Economics Research Association (CHERA) and the Socio-Health Research Group of the Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina, jointly presented the "Fifth Canadian Conference on Health Economics," in recognition of CHERA's tenth anniversary." "The conference theme was Health Economics-Health Reform and their interaction. Although health reform was central to all presentations, different speakers approached the subject from their own perspective, as might be expected. Invited papers were given by Dr. Judith Maxwell, Director (Queen's-University of Ottawa Economics Project), Dr. Margaret Catley-Carlson (President, The Population Council, New York), Dr. Graham Parsons (Executive Director, Saskatchewan Development Institute), and Dr. J. Fraser Mustard (President and Founder of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research). The remainder of the conference consisted of papers by individuals who had responded to the call for papers. This volume contains a selection of the papers which were presented at the conference."--BOOK JACKET.
