Abstract

The authors attempt to estimate the economic impact of the spread of AIDS and the subsequent rise in adult mortality on the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, they consider the extent to which spending on AIDS-related problems will absorb a large and growing portion of national savings and thus impede capital formation. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
