Abstract

We have two objectives in this book. First, we bring together in one place, original research that sheds light on the myriad connections between disease, human health, and regional economic growth and development. Second, given the contemporary salience of Asia in world affairs, we concentrate on the trinity of disease, human health, and regional economic growth and development in different regions within Asia. Following this introductory chapter, there are nine chapters and each of these chapters — written by an expert or by a team of experts — discusses a particular research question or questions about disease, human health, and regional economic growth and development within Asia.

Keywords: Asia, Disease, Economic Development, Human Health, Regional Growth

JEL Classification: I12, I15, R11
