Apostolos Davillas, PhD

Picture

I am a Lecturer in Health Economics, University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich Medical School.

I am leading the Health Economics theme within Norwich Medical School and I am the Course Director for the MSc in Health Economics programs. 


Research Interests:
  • Health economics
  • Applied Health (micro)Econometrics
  • Biosocial research
  • Survey measurement of health
  • Public Economics​​

My research covers a range of topics such as the demand for health care, health services utilisation and healthcare costs, the economics of obesity, disability research, and socio-economic inequalities in health and health care. 

On these topics, I published papers in the Journal of Health Economics (3 papers), Health Economics (2 papers), Social Science & Medicine, Economics & Human Biology (3 papers), and in high impact interdisciplinary journals (PLOS One and Scientific Reports). 

My research has been featured at the voxeu, the Guardian, Politico, Newsweek, and the Society Now magazine (ESRC).


My work on the economics of obesity has been used by the Congressional Budget Office, to shape and inform anti-obesity policy; the relevant reports are available here and here. My work on the income-health gradient is acknowledged by Public Health England on a recent report about the health profile of the population. My research has been highlighted at recent consultations for the Scottish Government and the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Obesity.

​​I worked as a (tenured) Research Fellow (and, previously, Senior Resaerch Officer) at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of Essex (2013-2019).
