Editor, Health Economics Letters

Profile and research interests

I do 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.

I 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. A second edition has been published in 2012.

In 1992 I established the European Workshops on Econometrics and Health Economics, which are co-organised with Owen O’Donnell.

I am 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.
