The Economics of the Global Response to HIV/AIDS
The seminar builds on the recently published book on the Economics of the Global Response to HIV/AIDS (OUP, June 2016). Drawing on the evidence on the health and economic impacts of HIV/AIDS and the experience of the global HIV/AIDS response, it draws lessons for health policy analysis and advocacy in two areas - embedding estimates of economic returns (alongside health impacts) in policy evaluations, and accommodating the transition of HIV/AIDS into a chronic/treatable disease.
Author: Markus Haacker is an economist working at the intersections of macroeconomics, public finance, global health, and economic development. He is a Visiting Scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and has worked as a consultant to the World Bank and UNAIDS. From 1999-2008, he was an Economist at the International Monetary Fund.
