Description
Summary:The measure of health, regarded from the point of view of human capital, has met, over time, difficulties. The hardship in elaborating a standard method of measurement, is, for the most part, determined by the multitude of factors that can influence the health state of the population. The pioneering study regarding the production function of population health is the one of Auster, Leveson and Sarachek (1969), who have investigated the manner in which health supervision and environmental factors affect the mortality (the mortality rate being one of the measures identified for health). Subsequently, the research has focused on identifying determiners of life expectancy or of mortality rates.
