According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, in 2006 approximately 43.3 million people, or 16.8 percent of the US population under age 65 was uninsured.
Krugman and Wells
Paul Krugman and his wife Robin Wells are both professors at Princeton University, where they have collaborated on a number of scholarly articles, such as the one we will discuss here, as well as our lovely textbook. Additionally, Krugman's research focuses on international trade and currency crises; he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory." Wells' research is devoted to theories of organizations and incentives.
