Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to attend the second health economics webinar hosted by the Italian Health Economics Association this year.
The webinar series aims to share theory, econometric models, and public policy related to health and healthcare.

Webinar Title: “Emergency readmissions: is 30-day the optimal time interval to capture hospital quality of care?”


6 June 2024, 12:30 AM - 1:30 PM


Invited speaker: Adriana Castelli, Centre for Health Economics, University of York

Abstract: We focus on patients diagnosed with a disease of the circulatory system and construct the pool of index admissions, using the 2018/19 Hospital Episodes Statistics Admitted Patient Care dataset. We estimate basic and extended specifications of three multilevel logistic regression models (admissions within sites, admissions within Trusts, and admission within sites nested within Trusts) for each of the binary outcome variables, indicating whether an index admission was followed by a readmission at day 0 to 90. For each model, we calculate the proportion of total variance explained by the Trust and/or site-level random effects, by means of the intracluster correlation coefficient (ICC). A higher ICC means that hospital factors have more weight in explaining the variation, so the readmission indicator is more reliable as a quality signal.
Preliminary results show that the ICCs exhibit a decreasing trend as the readmission window widens, with a slight variation in their dynamics depending on the model specification. Between site variation explains a larger proportion of the total variation in the outcome than between Trust variation, suggesting that policy interventions may be more effective at site level. Our approach to defining the eadmission cut-off window suggests using a 0-3 days readmission timeframe to ensure high reliability of emergency readmissions as a quality signal”.

The AIES President, the Executive Committee, and the Board of Auditors wish everyone a joyful Easter 🌸🐣

On February 27th the IHEA Board approved the establishment of the SIG Economics of Digital Health Technology (E-DHT), of which our AIES member Giorgia Marini is part as Convenor for inequalities, together with Divya Srivastava (Founder, Lead Convenor for regulation and economic evaluation), Adriana Castelli Cowham (Convenor for productivity and efficiency), Karsten Vrangbaek (Convenor for implementation and governance), Marco Liverani (Convenor technology design and health system integration), Siyabonga Ndwandwe (ECR) and Lucy Xiaolu Wang (ECR).

This E-DHT SIG aims to bring together health economists and experts from other disciplines and stakeholders such as behavioural economics, cognitive sciences and social sciences. It aims to apply economic theory and advance the field of health economic research by enriching our understanding and generating evidence of DHTs to progress towards more equitable health and social care.

The E-DHT has four aims:
Connect:to bring together researchers in the global north and global south to further our understanding on all aspects of health economic research on digital health
Collaborate: to encourage collaborative ways to conduct research across the global north and global south
Identify: to identify research gaps in digital health technology to support research priorities
Develop: to develop methods in health economic research and support teaching materials drawing on the most up to date evidence.

The Junior Researcher will be involved in activities such as the review of the literature, data collection and data cleaning, development of the econometric models and drafting of scientific reports and academic papers.
The researcher will contribute to the scientific debate on job mobility in relation to occupation characteristics and workers' well-being. Specifically, the project will involve the analysis of the dynamics of labour mobility, particularly voluntary separations/quits (as related to the pandemic containment measures such as the temporary freeze on layoffs), with a focus on job quality at the occupational level, job design factors (including remote working), job meaning, subjective well-being and mental health, and work-life balance. The main tasks that the researcher will have to carry out are: critical review of existing studies on the socioeconomic and health determinants of voluntary separations/quits; processing of administrative data from job flows and individual microdata from surveys; estimation of econometric models, drafting of scientific reports and papers. Knowledge and mastery of advanced methods of microeconometrics, panel data analysis and causal inference are therefore required.
PhD candidates who are approaching the end of their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply.

Job opportunity!

One 24 months research position at Uninsubria (Varese), Department of Economics

We are looking for a Junior Researcher (Assegnista di Ricerca) to work on the PRIN project “Health and Wellbeing of the Elderly” (“HealthyAGE”), at the Department of Economics of the University of Insubria (Varese). The Junior Researcher will be involved in activities such as the review of the literature, data collection and data cleaning, development of the econometric models and drafting of academic papers. The selected candidate will join the research team including Silvana Robone (PI), Elisabetta Lodigiani and Anna Cecilia Rosso.

The Researcher will contribute to the scientific debate on the health and well-being of the elderly. As far as health is concerned, the empirical literature shows that the incidence of cancer is higher among the elderly than the overall population. Primary prevention through screening programs has been proven to lead to a decrease in cancer incidence and mortality. By examining data from the US, we will shed light on the determinants of cancer screening behaviours.
The project will also address the issue of the income and financial wellbeing of the elderly. Over the last decades the economic wellbeing of the elderly has become more and more reliant on their financial choices, which are affected by their financial risk preferences. We will investigate the determinants of financial risk preferences of the elderly, both in the native and in the immigrant population.

The research position lasts for 24 months and is funded by MUR, within the PRIN project. The gross salary is about 22.000 euro per year. Fundings will be available over 2 years for the Researcher for conferences and business travels. Remote work, if required, will be allowed for the Researcher.

The ideal candidates should be proficient in econometrics and STATA and trained in health economics and/or economics of migration. Applications from both students about to conclude their Ph.D. thesis and newly minted PhDs are welcome.

The formal call will be out on the official notice board of the Universities on the 31st of October 2023 and it will stand out until the 16th of November. The candidates are expected to start working on the project at the beginning of January.

For further information please write to Robone ([email protected]).
