Drugs, Money, and Secret Handshakes: The Unstoppable Growth of Prescription Drug Prices

Joseph White earned his Ph.D. in political science with his research focusing on U.S. federal budgeting. His work on health care politics and policy began with interests in both its budgetary consequences and the differences between the United States and other countries. He joined CWRU after appointments with the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Brookings Institution. Joe’s most recent work has focused on how ideas within policy communities influence health care politics, and on how ideas that are very popular with experts, such as performance measurement, tend to have disappointing results.
