The book presents a basic introduction to epidemiology from the perspective of economics, using economic modeling to better understand and describe how infectious disease spreads. Three main elements are introduced: epidemiology, social network analysis, and the economics needed to model the behavior of individuals in the presence of infectious disease. The book aims to provide a starting point for discussion between medical professionals, social scientists and public health officials, the three groups interested in the spread of disease.

Preface.- Introduction.- Part I: Epidemic Modeling.- Part II: Merging Economics and Epidemiology.- Part III: An Introduction to Social Interactions.- Part IV: Strategic Decision Making.

From the reviews:

"This book provides a unique view of the intersection of economics, epidemiology, and social interactions. ... the purpose of this book is to enable scientists in fields related to public health understand economics and vice versa. ... The author does a wonderful job of accomplishing these objectives. ... a valuable tool for scientists in both economics and public health to help them understand how tightly these two fields interact. The author has done an exemplary job presenting the information for readers in both fields." (Angela Jean Schneider, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2013)
