There are unique requirements in conducting and reporting economic and quality of life investigations in medicine as compared with more traditional studies involving clinical outcomes. In addition, there are several unique characteristics of the discipline of transplantation that also bear attention in economic and quality of life studies. To provide guidelines for future research and reporting of future research, a consensus conference of transplant professionals was convened to discuss these issues. Five different areas were addressed: "Conducting an Economic Analysis," "Reporting an Economic Analysis," "Quality of Life Studies in Transplantation," "Ethical and Conflict of Interest Issues Between Sponsors and Investigators," and "Future Directions for Research." A series of recommendations for each of these areas with reference to relevant literature is presented.

This paper discusses health economics as a behavioral science and as input into health policy and health services research. I illustrate the dual role with data on publications and citations of two leading health economics journals and three leading American health economists. Five important and relatively new topics in economics are commended to health economists who focus on economics as a behavioral science. This is followed by suggestions for health economists in their role of providing input to health policy and health services research. I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of economics, the role of values, and the potential for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. The fourth section presents reasons why I believe the strong demand for health economics will continue, and the paper concludes with a sermon addressed primarily to recent entrants to the field.
