Prof. Owen O’Donnell (
The course is intended for PhD students and other researchers interested in the quantitative analysis of inequality and inequity in health and health care. It consists of five days of lectures and computing laboratory sessions on a number of topics related to the measurement and explanation of inequalities in health and health care.
Apart from providing a general introduction to the range of approaches available to researchers, it also provides practical guidance on various issues of computation. Illustrative examples draw on analyses conducted of OECD and developing countries. Students are assessed on their completion of a practical exercise of data analysis.
Objectives: The aims of the laboratory are:
- To review approaches to the measurement of inequality and inequity employed in health economics and other fields
- To provide detailed guidance on computational procedures using Stata and the World Bank’s ADePT package
- To provide hands-on experience with computation-based exercises
Registration: Online until 22 May 2010 email: phdcourses.hep@unil.ch
