Welcome to The Centre for Health Economics (CHE) web site
Health economics has emerged over the past 30 years as a major branch of economics that has enabled researchers to influence the way we think about the determinants of health, and how we approach the organization and delivery of health care. The University of York pioneered the development of health economics in the UK, and in 1983 created the Centre for Health Economics (CHE), which is now one of the largest and best known health economics research centres in the world. CHE operates across all areas of the discipline, with a particular emphasis on methodological thinking and high policy impact. It is known especially for its work in health technology assessment, health status measurement, performance measurement and productivity, health care financing, and econometric methodology. CHE's research is organized into seven broad themes:
Economic evaluation of health technologies
Econometric methods
Health care financing, expenditure and purchasing
Health system design and reform
Performance assessment
Population health
Equity in health and health care
