Ethics and Economic Growth in the Age of Covid‐19: What Is a Just Society to Do
These are fraught times with exponential growth of COVID-19 and many of us under lockdown conditions. But pandemics are not new. It is just that most of us alive have not experienced anything like this. Infection-induced holocausts have wiped out large shares of the population at various times. Think of smallpox and other infections among indigenous Americans or consider the horrific Black Plague of the mid-14th century and the Plague of Justinia…
Merger & Acquisition and Capital Expenditure in Health Care: Information Gleaned From Stock Price Variation
Investment, especially through merger and acquisition (M&A), is a leading topic of concern among health care managers. In addition, the implications of this activity for organization and market concentration are of great interest to policy makers. Using a sample of 2256 firm-year observations in the health care industry during the period from 1985 to 2011, this article provides novel evidence that managers learn from financial markets in making c…
Distributed dynamic capabilities in South Africa's mineral resource-finance network
Highlights: • Reconceptualising dynamic capabilities framework to distributed dynamic capabilities provides important analytical insights.• Examination of technology-based competitive advantage under collectively coordinated environments.• Demonstrates how market structure influences opportunities for learning in production.• Benefits of taking distributed dynamic capabilities and economic development in broader perspective.• Mineral resource-bas…
Organization and Finance of China’s Health Sector: Historical Antecedents for Macroeconomic Structural Adjustment
China has exploded onto the world economy over the past few decades and is undergoing rapid transformation toward relatively more services. The health sector is an important part of this transition. This article provides a historical account of the development of health care in China since 1949. It also focuses on health insurance and macroeconomic structural adjustment to less saving and more consumption. In particular, the question of how healt…
Economic Transformation in Health Care: Implications for Rural Communities
Redefining the Role of the Pharmacist: Medication Therapy Management
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore better use of pharmacists in rural communities as a partial solution to scarcity of physicians and other health care providers. It discusses expected reduction in public subsidies for rural health care and the changing market for pharmacists. The paper emphasizes the use of pharmacists as a backdrop for description of Medication Therapy Management (MTM). A pilot study of MTM is also reported. Metho…
Pulmonary impairment after tuberculosis and its contribution to TB burden
Our findings demonstrate that the disease burden from TB is greater than previously estimated. Pulmonary impairment after tuberculosis was responsible for the majority of the burden. These data demonstrate that successful TB control efforts may reduce the health burden more than previously recognized

Gasoline Prices and Their Relationship to Rising Motorcycle Fatalities, 1990–2007
Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among young adults. Although automobile fatalities have declined in recent years, motorcycle fatalities are rapidly increasing. The purpose of our research was to quantify the relationship between changing fuel prices and motorcycle fatalities. Our findings suggest that people increasingly rely on motorcycles to reduce their fuel costs in response to rising gasoline prices. We estimate that u…
Gastric Bypass Surgery in the United States, 1998–2002
We assessed the prevalence of gastric bypass surgeries in the United States on the basis of data from the 1998 to 2002 National Hospital Discharge Survey. Between 1998 and 2002, rates (per 100 000 adults) increased significantly (P
The World Health Report 2000: Can Health Care Systems Be Compared Using a Single Measure of Performance
COMPARATIVE STUDIES have been part of health services research literature for decades. The benefits of these analyses include documenting how the more successful practices can be adapted in another country. Such has been the case in France, where many US health care delivery practices have been adopted in market reforms. The World Health Organization (WHO) studied the health systems of 191 countries for its World Health Report 2000.2 The study is…
Medical Checkups: Who Does Not Get Them
Objectives. This study determined which predisposing, enabling, need, behavioral, and disease factors predict the use of medical checkups. Methods. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System was used to obtain state estimates in Iowa. Results. A decreased likelihood of recent checkups was noted for persons aged 25 to 44, men, and those who faced cost barriers. An increased likelihood of recent checkups was associated with married people, high…
Coyne and Hilsenrath Respond
We are appreciative of Hyder's thoughtful response to our piece on the World Health Report 2000. Overall, we think the methodological concerns he raises are important, and that our differences are due not only to disciplinary approach but also to practical realities of methodologies employed by the World Health Organization (WHO). With regard to disability-adjusted life expectancy and health system performance, the intent of adjusting life expect…
Health System Performance in South Africa vs. France: W orld H ealth R eport 2000
The authors examine the efficiency and overall performance of the French and South African (and American) health systems with a particular focus on how these countries ranked in the 2000 World Health Report
Why Rural Residents Migrate for Family Physician Care
Several studies have examined why rural residents bypass local hospitals, but few have explored why they migrate for physician care. In this study, data from a random mail survey of households in rural Iowa counties were used to determine how consumers' attitudes about their local health system, health beliefs, health insurance coverage and other personal characteristics influenced their selection of local vs. nonlocal family physicians (family p…
Implementing Eachs and RPCHs on a Statewide Basis: A Preliminary Analysis
Declining hospital utilization has created excess hospital capacity in rural areas, has depressed occupancy rates, and threatens the financial viability of rural hospitals. Access to hospital care could be reduced and rural economies damaged if rural hospitals close. The federal Essential Access Community Hospital (EACH) demonstration program is an attempt to address these issues by establishing regional hospital networks. A preliminary analysis …
