Motivation
Reducing health inequalities is becoming one of the paramount priorities for the European Union. For Economics, equity is a treat. Although top economists have contributed to the field, the trade-off between efficiency and equity is not yet well solved. How can fairness be integrated in the studies of economic evaluation? How to measure equity in delivery and funding health systems? How could equity be preserved in the running times of economic downturn? Many important questions still remain open. We invite you to contribute to the issue in this workshop.
Session 1: Advances and approaches in the EU to reduce health inequalities
Session 2: Monitoring equity in delivering and funding health systems. Indicators and case studies
Session 3: Priorization. Tackling equity in the studies of economic evaluation
