Von der hinteren Coverseite

The economic literature on aging and the subjects associated with it, such as social insurance and health care costs, interest policymakers as well as academics. These volumes, the first of a new subseries in the Handbooks in Economics, describe and analyze scholarship created since the inception of serious attention began in the late 1970s. This literature appears in the general economics journals, in various field journals in economics (especially, but not exclusively, those covering labor market and human resource issues), in interdisciplinary social science and life science journals, and in papers by economists published in journals associated with gerontology, history, sociology, political science, and demography, among others. These volumes play a role in the discursive economics literature being united and formulated as a discipline.
