About Scholarship: The PhD studentship aims to gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of wellbeing and its measurement in Economics and Health Economics. It will utilise existing survey datasets of wellbeing indicators in order to analyse the health and socio-economic determinants and the behavioural responses to these that may explain the aggregate trends in wellbeing routinely reported by the Office of National Statistics and will explore through choice-experiments the key determinants of wellbeing for the general population and for individuals suffering from chronic conditions. This PhD studentship is funded by UEMS. The research student will benefit from the strong links UEMS has across the University of Exeter, including the experimental economics laboratory and the ESRC funded Centre for Research on Risk and Ambiguity, both based in the Department of Economics, and also links with The Mood Disorders Centre, the Wellbeing Network and the European Centre for the Environment and Human Health.
