Research Interests
My main research interest is in Health Economics, Industrial Organisation, Public Economics, and Applied Microeconometrics. My recent research focuses on modelling purchaser-provider interactions in health care, waiting times for elective surgery, obesity and efficiency analysis (DEA and Stochastic Frontiers). I am willing to supervise students on theoretical and empirical microeconomic issues in health economics, and in selected topics of public economics and industrial organisation.
