The Health Economics Group (HEG) is composed of economists, statisticians, mathematicians, and engineers. Our lines of research include the economic evaluation of health technologies, budget impact analysis, cost of illness studies, and costs and use of resources studies in the field of health services research. Among the most recent and relevant projects of the HEG are the estimation of the cost-effectiveness threshold for Spain, the economic evaluation of neonatal screening for various pathologies, or the BURQOL-RD European projects BURQOL-RD (https://goo.gl/Uezuo9), ASDEU (https://goo.gl/shqswp) o PECUNIA (https://goo.gl/V7SUci).
