ROSANNA TARRICONE

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Social and Political Science at Bocconi University and Associate Dean at the Bocconi School of Management where I lead the Division of Government, Health and Non-Profit. I earned my BSc in Management at Bocconi University, the MSc in Health Services Management at the University of London and my PhD in Public Health and Public Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.  

With over 100 peer-reviewed publications, I am a leading scholar in the field of health policy with a focus on health technology assessment (HTA). I combine rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods to the empirical analysis of health care systems and health care technologies, with a strong commitment to system reform.My HTA studies provide rigorously developed estimates of the costs and clinical benefits of several health technologies and healthcare programmes. 

With over ten competitive research grants awarded from international institutions such as the European Union, the Swiss Bridge Award and InHealth (USA), my research is characterised by being interdisciplinary, mostly carried out through large international, mainly EU-based, consortia of scholars, and major collaborative policy development initiatives that span EU policy makers.
