Dr. Ammi’s research spans health economics, applied microeconometrics, and health policy. His research is primarily quantitative, using a variety of methods (e.g., choice experiments) and data sources (e.g., survey and administrative data). He also uses other approaches, such as synthesis and comparative case studies, to study health policy relevant questions in Canada and abroad.
In Canada, about 1 in 10 dollars is spent on health care and the share of provincial budgets allocated to health is above 40% in most provinces. However, the Canadian health care system performance is far from being impressive, by international standards. This raises the question of the correct allocation of resources, one key question for economists. I am particularly interested in studying health care from the supply-side and like most applied economists, I try to find answer to causal questions. My research interests include primary care (especially physicians’ and nurses’ behaviour, and team-based care), utilization and accessibility of care, decentralization in healthcare, as well as public health. Overall, I want to understand how the characteristics of health and healthcare systems can be modified to balance comprehensive access, high quality and low cost of healthcare, and ultimately improve population health.
