Econometrics

Dynamic skewness in longitudinal data models

University of Sheffield

About the Project Panel (longitudinal) data enables learning the dynamics and relations of (groups of) units, strengthening the inference on both cross-sectional and dynamic parameters. The dominant approach to modelling unbounded continuous quantities of interest is to assume symmetric error terms (eg Gaussian or Student), but this assumption is often not met in practice. Several approaches have been developed to address the issue, eg generalised linear models.

Econometrics

Individualised Utility Based Decision Modelling for Personalised Clinical Decisions

University of Birmingham

About the Project Traditional cost‑effectiveness models underpin healthcare resource allocation by estimating population‑average outcomes and utilities associated with treatments. From this, health service funders can decide which treatments to provide. However, individual patients do not necessarily reflect the population averate.

Econometrics

The determinants of sexual orientation inequalities in health.

University of Liverpool

About the Project The PhD aims to develop theoretical models for variation in the demand for health across sexual orientation groups and test hypotheses generated therein. The project will provide insights into the causes of inequalities in health by sexual orientation, helping to drive forward research that could help inform and shape healthcare policy.
