From the Back Cover
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Health Economics Research Unit (HERU) this book brings together contributions from existing and former HERU staff which draw on their specialist interests and work records. The chapters reflect the 'state of the art' methodologies in which HERU has played, and still plays, a leading developmental role.HERU was established at the University of Aberdeen in 1977 to develop new methods within health economics and to encourage the use of the techniques of economic appraisal within the health service. As such, it was the first research unit in Europe focussing solely on Health Economics. The importance of the Unit's work cannot be underestimated and all health economists as well as those working within the health service and the field of health policy will benefit from reading this text and appreciating HERU's contribution to the field.
Advances in Health Economics does not only reflect on the past 25 years, but is also a driving force for the next 25.
