The impact of fiscal food policies on the macro-economy
The UK government announced the ‘Soft Drinks Industry Levy’ (SDIL), a tiered tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), in 2016 and implemented the tax in 2018. Traditional economic assessments of SSB tax interventions focus on assessing healthcare cost implications using the standard Cost-of-Illness methodology. No studies have so far attempted to apply macroeconomic assessment methods to assess net macroeconomic impacts of SSB taxes, including an…

OBJECTIVES: COVID-19 has altered health sector capacity in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cost data to inform evidence-based priority setting are urgently needed. Consequently, in this paper, we calculate the full economic health sector costs of COVID-19 clinical management in 79 LMICs under different epidemiological scenarios. METHODS: We used country-specific epidemiological projections from a dynamic transmission model to dete…
Palm oil and dietary change
Palm oil is a cooking oil and food ingredient in widespread use in the global food system. However, as a highly saturated fat, palm oil consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale oil palm production has been linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model to undertake integrated health, environmental, and e…
The welfare implications of public healthcare financing
Studies on global health and development suggest that there is a strong correlation between the burden of disease and a country's level of income. Poorer countries tend to suffer more deaths from preventable causes such as communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions, compared with high-income countries. In low-income countries, the government health expenditure share in the general government budget is low and out-of-pocket payme…
