Michael Palmer

I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics in the Department of Economics at the University of Western Australia. My broad research interests are in health economics, development economics, and applied econometrics. My research has focussed on the economics of disability with applications in South East Asia. I obtained my PhD from the Australian National University in 2011. Before joining the University of Western Australia, I was Head of Economics at RMIT University Vietnam (2017-2018) and Research Fellow at the Nossal Institute for Global Health, The University of Melbourne (2012-2017) where I remain an honorary Senior Research Fellow. I am also a Research Affiliate with the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health.
