Description

Moral hazard - the tendency to change behaviour when the cost of that behaviour will be borne by others - is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow's seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and this book examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy.
