Health Equity

Health differs between socioeconomic groups throughout the world. Our research measures the magnitudes of these health disparities, unravels their causes, and evaluates the impact of policies on them. Furthermore, we elicit people’s aversion to health inequalities and use these social preferences to conduct equity-sensitive evaluation of health policies.
