Individual decision making, welfare measurement and policy evaluation in the health sector: a microeconometric approach

这项拟议的研究计划将为国际经济学和卫生经济学的发展做出贡献。它提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，将国际经济学前沿的学者聚集在一起，他们是在将研究成果实际应用于制定政策方向方面具有丰富经验的研究人员。该方法将填补澳大利亚在系统一级的政策相关卫生服务研究方面反复发现的空白。该研究计划的直接结果将是关于具体卫生政策问题的信息，包括成本和利用率、获得机会和公平的驱动因素。

This proposed program of research will contribute to the development of economics and health economics internationally. It provides an exciting opportunity to bring together scholars across economics at the forefront of the discipline internationally, who are researchers with extensive experience in the practical application of research results in shaping policy directions. The approach will fill the repeatedly identified gap in policy relevant health services research at the system level in Australia. The immediate outcomes of the research program will be information on specific health policy issues, in terms of the drivers of cost and utilization, access and equity.
