The theme examines how financial and non-financial incentives influence the behaviour and performance of the people and the organisations delivering care. We are the only health economics group in the UK with a

Our Research Themes
Health Behaviour
The theme uses economics to understand health behaviour (alcohol consumption, physical activity, and dietary choice) to design and evaluate health behaviour interventions to encourage health behaviour change.
Assessment of Technologies
This theme produces high quality evidence on the value of new and in-use health technologies. We lead research on using a person-centred approach to economic evaluations.
Preference And ValuE
This theme is internationally recognised for developing and applying preference elicitation methods, particularly discrete choice experiments (DCEs).
