Health Economics and Ethics and the Health Capability Paradigm
Social Science Research Network, 2015Co-Authors: Jennifer Prah RugerAbstract:Kenneth Arrow’s seminal 1963 article “Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care,” published in the American Economic Review, is widely regarded as the origin of Health Economics. The Health Economics field that has emerged in the subsequent 50 years has become a collection of market-based (demand for and supply of Health goods and services) and non-market-based subjects. Despite a “broadening” of Health Economics to absorb ideas from other disciplines, the field has failed to pay adequate attention to ethics. Kenneth Arrow himself has called for greater attention to ethics in solving persistent Health and Health care problems for which economic tools are insufficient. The Health capability paradigm is an attempt to integrate economic and ethical principles in an alternative analytical framework, enriching both Health Economics and ethics simultaneously. Social problems in Health are so intractable that we must apply theoretical and empirical methods in both Economics and ethics to analyse them. Health capability Economics, as embodied in the Health capability paradigm, offers a way forward.

four decades of Health Economics through a bibliometric lens
Research Papers in Economics, 2011Co-Authors: Adam Wagstaff, Anthony J. CulyerAbstract:This paper takes a bibliometric tour of the past 40 years of Health Economics using bibliographic"metadata"from EconLit supplemented by citation data from Google Scholar and the authors'topical classifications. The authors report the growth of Health Economics (33,000 publications since 1969 -- 12,000 more than in the Economics of education) and list the 300 most-cited publications broken down by topic. They report the changing topical and geographic focus of Health Economics (the topics'Determinants of Health and ill-Health'and'Health statistics and econometrics'both show an upward trend, and the field has expanded appreciably into the developing world). They also compare authors, countries, institutions, and journals in terms of the volume of publications and their influence as measured through various citation-based indices (Grossman, the US, Harvard and the JHE emerge close to or at the top on a variety of measures).

Health Economics education in undergraduate medical training: introducing the Health Economics education (HEe) website
BMC medical education, 2013Co-Authors: Raymond Oppong, Hema Mistry, Emma FrewAbstract:In the UK, the General Medical Council clearly stipulates that upon completion of training, medical students should be able to discuss the principles underlying the development of Health and Health service policy, including issues relating to Health Economics. In response, researchers from the UK and other countries have called for a need to incorporate Health Economics training into the undergraduate medical curricula. The Health Economics education website was developed to encourage and support teaching and learning in Health Economics for medical students. It was designed to function both as a forum for teachers of Health Economics to communicate and to share resources and also to provide instantaneous access to supporting literature and teaching materials on Health Economics. The website provides a range of free online material that can be used by both Health economists and non-Health economists to teach the basic principles of the discipline. The Health Economics education website is the only online education resource that exists for teaching Health Economics to medical undergraduate students and it provides teachers of Health Economics with a range of comprehensive basic and advanced teaching materials that are freely available. This article presents the website as a tool to encourage the incorporation of Health Economics training into the undergraduate medical curricula.

A New Paradigm for Health Economics
Nordic Journal of Health Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Kjeld Møller PedersenAbstract:Culyer and Newhouse in their introduction to the Handbook of Health Economics 1 noted that as a research program Health Economics seemed to be in good shape. “Moreover, its ‘hard core’ of neoclassical Economics (especially welfare Economics) is itself a part of the ongoing developmental agenda of the subject”. They further observed that there is something in Health Economics for almost all kinds of Health economists: “Powerful defenders of conventional methods and aggressive challengers; pure theorists and applied economists, those who undertake academic research for its own sake and those who see it as an instrument for the improvement of societies …”. ...

Assessing the quality of Swedish Health Economics research.
Scandinavian journal of public health, 2006Co-Authors: Michael Drummond, Grete Botten, Unto Häkkinen, Kjeld Møller PedersenAbstract:The sub-discipline of Health Economics has grown rapidly over the last ten years. Swedish researchers were among the first in the field and have featured prominently in its development. Therefore the review of Swedish Health Economics Research, commissioned by FAS (the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research) published as a supplement to this journal [1], provided an excellent opportunity to take stock of past achievements and to make recommendations for the future. The first task of the evaluation group was to define what is meant by ‘Health Economics’. This is not a straightforward task, as Health Economics is closely associated with social medicine and public Health, with many studies being undertaken by multidisciplinary teams. In the end the evaluation group opted for the definition outlined by Williams (1987), shown in Figure 3.1 of the supplement. This considers Health Economics to consist of eight areas of research, including theoretical topics, such as ‘what is Health?’ and applied topics, such as ‘microeconomic evaluation at the treatment level’. However, one caveat was applied; namely, the research in any of the eight areas had to adopt a theoretical and/or empirical perspective consistent with the parent discipline (Economics). The methods applied by the evaluation group comprised three elements. First, an inventory of Swedish Health Economics research was compiled by surveying those university research units, government and non-government agencies thought to be active in the field. (Private, for profit, organisations such as pharmaceutical companies were excluded.) Secondly, a bibliometric analysis of the Swedish Health Economics literature from 1986 to 2004 was conducted. Finally, face-to-face interviews were held with representatives of the main Health Economics research groups and the main users of research, such as national and regional governments. The inventory survey, conducted by Marianne Hanning, found that Health Economics research was undertaken in many parts of Sweden, with the largest concentrations of researchers being in Stockholm, Lund/Malmo and Linkoping. Some researchers were based in Economics departments, others in medical schools, with successful research being undertaken in either location. The bibliometric analysis, conducted by Olle Persson, showed that the publication record of Swedish researchers had been impressive, with Sweden ranked fifth in the world in publications in the top ranked journals in the field. (The normal position of Sweden in such surveys is rank 12.) The bibliometric maps, shown in Figures 5.1 and 5.2 of the supplement, also illustrate the ways in which Swedish researchers have collaborated with one another and with researchers from other countries. The research groups were also asked to identify their five ‘best’ publications, in terms of methodological contribution or policy impact, and the PhD students they had supervised. This showed that, although research had been conducted in all the 8

Health Economics in Public Health
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Alice S. Ammerman, Matthew A. Farrelly, David N. Cavallo, Scott B. Ickes, Thomas J. HoergerAbstract:Background Economic analysis is an important tool in deciding how to allocate scarce public Health resources; however, there is currently a dearth of such analysis by public Health researchers. Methods Public Health researchers and practitioners were surveyed to determine their current use of Health Economics and to identify barriers to use as well as potential strategies to decrease those barriers in order to allow them to more effectively incorporate economic analyses into their work. Data collected from five focus groups informed survey development. The survey included a demographic section and 14 multi-part questions. Participants were recruited in 2006 from three national public Health organizations through e-mail; 294 academicians, practitioners, and community representatives answered the survey. Results Survey data were analyzed in 2007. Despite an expressed belief in the importance of Health Economics, more than half of the respondents reported very little or no current use of Health Economics in their work. Of those using Health Economics, cost–benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis and determination of public Health costs were cited as the measures used most frequently. The most important barriers were lack of expertise, funding, time, tools, and data, as well as discomfort with economic theory. The resource deemed most important to using Health Economics was collaboration with economists or those with economic training. Respondents indicated a desire to learn more about Health Economics and tools for performing economic analysis. Conclusions Given the importance of incorporating economic analysis into public Health interventions, and the desire of survey respondents for more collaboration with Health economists, opportunities for such collaborations should be increased.
