| Sumario: | [eng] This document is a summary of the first steps of my journey into academic research. The dissertation provides in-depth analysis of the theoretical basis of the British National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) priority setting to the neonatal consequences of obstetricians’ tiredness. From being NICE to being tired aims to provide a quantitative perspective of four relevant multidisciplinary topics in health economics. It contains a piece of theoretical work with simulation exercises, a piece of methodology testing with an application to experimental data and two pieces of applied work, one focused on prediction and the other on causal effects. All articles are oriented towards informing public healthcare policies, with the hope that they will inform, someday, somehow, decision-making over the topics covered here. |
