This Note describes links between health economics and econometrics. It covers flows in both directions, including econometric models, robustness and specification, replication transformation, and the allocation of subjects to experimental treatments. It was presented by invitation at the 1986 meetings of the American Economics Association in New Orleans, Louisiana, and an abridged version appeared in the American Economic Review, May 1987.
