摘要

阿尔茨海默病(AD)影响了十分之一的65岁或以上的人,是美国最昂贵的疾病。我们描述了AD提出的核心经济问题。尽管老龄化经济学和健康经济学存在重叠,但“阿尔茨海默病经济学”的定义特征是强调认知受损患者的选择,这种选择会影响健康和财务状况,以及患者和护理人员之间的动态合同有用但难以执行的情况。鉴于阿尔茨海默病的巨大社会成本和目前对其原因缺乏了解,关注阿尔茨海默病预防、治疗和护理方面的创新也至关重要,这就提出了最佳资源配置和私人和社会激励协调的问题。经济学家为我们理解与阿尔茨海默病相关的问题做出了巨大的贡献,包括药物开发、有效的护理提供、动态合同、长期护理风险、财务决策和阿尔茨海默病公共项目的设计,这为许多经济学领域提供了丰富的研究项目。(jj22, g50, i10, i38, j14, l65, o31)

What Can Economics Say about Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects one in ten people aged 65 or older and is the most expensive disease in the United States. We describe the central economic questions raised by AD. Although there is overlap with the economics of aging and health, the defining feature of the “economics of Alzheimer’s disease” is an emphasis on choice by cognitively impaired patients that affects health and financial well-being, and situations in which dynamic contracts between patients and caregivers are useful but difficult to enforce. A focus on innovation in AD prevention, treatment, and care is also critical given the enormous social cost of AD and present lack of understanding of its causes, which raises questions of optimal resource allocation and alignment of private and social incentives. The enormous scope for economists to contribute to our understanding of AD-related issues including drug development, efficient care delivery, dynamic contracting, long-term care risk, financial decision-making, and the design of public programs for AD suggests a rich research program for many areas of economics.
