Profile
Andrew Jones does research in health economics and microeconometrics, with emphasis on the determinants of health, the economics of addiction and socioeconomic inequalities in health and health care. He edited the Elgar Companion to Health Economics which was published in 2006, with 50 concise chapters that review the state-of-the-art in the field. He has a particular interest in developing and disseminating the use of applied econometrics in health economics. In 1992 he established the European Workshops on Econometrics and Health Economics, which are co-organised with Owen O’Donnell. Since 2006 these have been complemented by the EU-funded Marie Curie Training Programme in Applied Health Economics. Andrew is the research director of the Health, Econometrics and Data Group (HEDG) at the University of York and a visiting professor at the University of Bergen.
