ARTiculate Health Economics to support understanding of microeconomics

Healthcare is a rich setting in which to study economics. A relevant example for every concept and tool used in economics can be found in this complex industry.
In healthcare, the stakes are high - often a matter of life and death. There are always winners and losers. While much of economics avoids discussing value judgements and focus on questions that have objective and verifiable answers, all policies are ultimately based on a value judgement. It is impossible to avoid discussing the values that lie behind the policy in health economics.
In this talk, Dr Rebecca McKibbin will examine the key questions of how we decide what is fair and who should decide what is fair, while looking at some examples from the COVID-19 policy response.
