PhD Project 1:
Identification and quantification of the consequences of medical disruptions for patient health and health system performance using causal inference approaches.
Elicitation of citizens’ valuations of supply security employing appropriately designed stated preference methods.
PhD Project 2:
Elicitation of citizens’ valuations of health improvements employing appropriately designed stated preference methods.
Elicitation of efficiency-equity trade-offs
Identifying the importance of altruism in shaping citizens’ preference
