Michael Grossman’s contributions to JHE

The American Society of Health Economists’ Victor R. Fuchs Award for Lifetime Contributions to the Field of Health Economics will be awarded to Michael Grossman (CUNY and NBER) this year. Some of Michael Grossman’s most important contributions to the field were published in the Journal of Health Economics. In honor of his achievements, the Journal of Health Economics now presents all of Michael Grossman’s contributions conveniently bundled in this Virtual Special Issue.
In addition, this Virtual Special Issue contains a selection of contributions to the Grossman Symposium, Published in Journal of Health Economics in 2004. The Grossman Symposium was a joint AEA/iHEA session titled “The Demand for Health, 30 Years Later: What Do We Know? What Do We Need to Know?”, which was organized for the January, 2003 ASSA Meetings in Washington, DC. This session evaluated the development of the literature on health capital, assessed various aspects of the current state of scholarship, and looked ahead to the research issues and questions likely to be of central importance in health economics research in the years to come.
