Session 16: Economics of Health Inequality

The workshop will feature a wide range of methodological approaches, including empirical analysis using administrative and experimental data, structural modeling, and theoretical frameworks, to study the sources, consequences, and persistence of health inequalities across populations. By fostering dialogue between applied and theoretical researchers, the conference will tackle hard, policy-relevant questions at the intersection of health, inequality, and economic institutions, with particular attention to mechanisms that inform the design of effective and equitable health and social policies.
