This bibliography lists 94 references which: (1) describe fiscal issues in residential services in the mental retardation/developmental disabilities and related fields, or (2) offer a theoretical perspective on doing research in these areas. The bibliography reviews studies which compare the cost of community-based services with the cost of institutional services, and studies which examine costs associated with a particular approach to community services. To describe these primary references, a review form is utilized, wnich lists specific topic areas and contains check marks indicating topics covered in each study. These topics indicate: whether the item is a cost study, a policy study, or a research methodology; the population studied; settings; location; age range; funding sources; operators; and costs accounted for. A brief textual description of some of the major findings and implications of each study is also included. Two other sections of the bibliography offer references to background information, including policy analyses, economic research, and background data on residential services. For the background materials, a short annotation of several sentences synthesizes each reference. kuDr)) **A****************** w*****************************t****************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. **************************************X***********W****************** RESEARCH ON THE ECONOMICS OF RESIDENTIAL SERVICES IN MENTAL RETARDATION A N D RELATED FIELDS: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
