The Health theme aims to better understand and predict the repercussions of current and future changes, to evaluate the impact of existing policies and to analyse other possible solutions to these issues. To do so, research activities rely on the use of state-of-the-art modelling tools and the application of evaluation methods applied to massive data at the population level and to administrative and program data on income, immigration, retirement and health.
The CIRANO Pole on the Efficiency of Health Services and Policies is part of this broad theme, as is some of the work of the Research Chair in Intergenerational Economics on measuring the drivers of public health care spending in Quebec, particularly inequalities in health care spending using administrative data.
