Publication Spotlight

In "Demographics and Innovation in the Asia-Pacific," co-edited by Karen Eggleston, experts examine how innovation interacts with two major forces: population aging and the economic and geopolitical re-emergence of Asia.

AHPP Working Paper Series

The AHPP working paper series is open to scholars and health policy experts around the world. We publish multiple papers each year and disseminate them to a broad international audience through the AHPP website and network and in collaboration with the Social Science Research Network.
