The book pulls together a series of articles by the authors that initiated the research areas of "optimal risk adjustment" and "optimal quality reporting." The papers present the basic theoretical models and link them to empirical application. Design of health insurance premiums to achieve efficient and fair outcomes is also covered. The chapters in the book also cover the intellectual development of approaches to health insurance regulation, beginning with more abstract models to those with explicit empirical and policy applications.
