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.[spa] La tesis incluye 6 capítulos, 4 de los cuáles son artículos independientes más una introducción y las conclusiones. La tesis investiga temas focales de la economía de la salud desde distintas perspectivas. El primer artículo estudia la comparativa en términos de eficiencia y equidad de distintos modelos teóricos de provisión de sanidad pública. El segundo, utilizando datos de un macro-ensayo clínico, utiliza técnicas de aprendizaje automático para la detección de efectos causales heterogéneos. El tercer artículo utiliza también métodos de aprendizaje automático para la predicción pronóstica del modo final de parto utilizando datos del universo de nacimientos en cuatro hospitales españoles. El último artículo estima el efecto causal de las cesáreas no medicamente indicadas sobre la salud de los recién nacidos.Universitat de BarcelonaBorrell, Joan-RamonUniversitat de Barcelona.
