About
Purpose
The field of health economics has grown dramatically in recent years, joining faculty and graduate students across schools of economics, medicine, public health, and public policy on healthcare topics in the U.S. and Europe. There are well-established conferences, publication outlets, faculty/professional networks, funding streams, and importantly, a viable career path as a health economics researcher focused on high-income settings for graduate students across disciplines.
However, there has not been commensurate progress in the field of health economics focused on low- and middle-income countries. We aim to catalyze a community of global health economics researchers to help strengthen the field, support doctoral students through these challenges, and develop more clearly viable academic career paths in global health economics.
