ECHIL. EConomics, Health, Inequalities Louvain

IRSS

ECHIL is a health economics research team at UCLouvain (University of Louvain) created in 2021 under the leadership of Prof. Sandy Tubeuf.

The research conducted by ECHIL is related to health economics and proposes an economic analysis of health policies and healthcare decisions. The research programme is focused on the use of quantitative methods within a multidisciplinary perspective. An economic theory approach is used to formulate research hypotheses that are then empirically investigated.

The scientific project of ECHIL is built around four thematic areas:

1 - Inequalities of opportunity in health and in education
2 - The economics of rare diseases
3 - Economic evaluation of complex health interventions
4 - Global Health policies
