The public economics of tuberculosis control.

چکیده
This paper identifies specific sources of the failure of private markets to allocate TB control resources efficiently. These market failures, as well as the concentration of the disease amongst the poor, suggest a number of roles for public intervention. Government intervention should aim to either increase, add to, or substitute for private supply, depending on the type of market failure and the institutional capacity of the public sector.
