Prize awarded to Luigi Siciliani and Hugh Gravelle for the best submission published in the journal Health Economics

Luigi Siciliani and Hugh Gravelle have been awarded a prize for the best submission published in the journal Health Economics during 2008 and 2009.  ‘Is waiting time prioritisation welfare improving?’ (2008: 17(2):167-184)) was judged to have addressed an issue that is of substantive importance in health policy – whether to prioritise patients on a waiting list – and does so using a systematic and rigorous application of economic analysis.
