Timothy Powell-Jackson

I am an Associate Professor in Health Economics in the Department of Global Health and Development and a member of the Centre for Health Economics in London (CHIL). I have 15 years of research experience working in low- and middle-income countries, applying empirical methods to better understand how health systems function and how they can improved.

I first developed an interest in health economics while working at the Ministry of Health, Rwanda on a two-year placement with the Overseas Development Institute Fellowship Scheme. I did my doctorate at LSHTM, spending two years in Nepal carrying out research as part of a UK government funded project evaluating a national maternal health financial incentive programme.

Much of my work involves the evaluation of policies that seek to increase patient demand for healthcare or improve the quality of care. I work on topics ranging from health financing and provider payment reforms to management practices and the private sector. My research has been published in medical journals as well as health and development economics journals.
