A very different way to study AIDS

In the December issue of Esquire magazine, there was a fascinating article about Emily Oster, an economist from the University of Chicago. Her research on HIV/AIDs took a different angle and as an economics major I was very interested with her methodology and findings. In the Esquire article, there are three major findings that are highlighted about AIDs. - It's the wrong disease to fight, It's not going to improve until poverty improves, the estimated numbers are way high but the disease is spreading like crazy. If the article is as intriguing to you as it was to me check out more of Emily's work here.
