In this second episode, we’ll dive into a crucial topic that is sometimes overlooked in discussions about health equity: health equity economics. What economics can bring to the study of health equity? Are equity and efficiency always two conflicting objectives in health policy?
For this episode we had the great pleasure to meet Professor Tom Van Ourti, Professor of applied health economics with a focus on health and inequality in Erasmus University Rotterdam. The responses you'll hear will provide you with a clearer understanding of the economic issues within health equity.
The discussion was led and hosted by Joachim Marti, Associate Professor of Health Economics.
