Data Watch: Research Data in Health Economics
介绍了六类可用于健康经济学研究的数据集，包括传统经济数据中的健康部分、纵向调查、雇主保险数据等，并总结了主要调查、数据获取方式及研究应用。
In this paper, we discuss some important data sets that can be used by economists interested in conducting research in health economics. We describe six types of data sets: health components of data sets traditionally used by economists; longitudinal surveys of health and economic behavior; data on employer-provided insurance; cross-sectional surveys of households that focus on health; data on health care providers; and vital statistics. We summarize some of the leading surveys, discuss the availability of the data, identify how researchers have utilized these data and when possible, include a web address that contains more detailed information about each survey.
