Visiting Speaker: Dr Marcel Voia, University of Orléans

Thursday, July 2, 2-3 p.m.

ED-2018B

Marcel Voia (University of Orléans) will speak on “Robust Duration Inference and Bias in Allocating Critical Hospital Resources.”

This study examines whether bias affects the allocation of scarce hospital resources. It finds that patients’ underlying physiological condition is a main driver of critical care use, and warns that common severity measures may unintentionally perpetuate bias. The results suggest ways to design fairer triage policies.

Presented by Department of Economics
