Description:
Health Economics Research Programme at the University of Oslo (HERO) was established in 1998 as a join programme at the Frisch Centre, the Centre for Health Administration and the Department of Economics at the University of Oslo. The purpose of HERO is to do research and teaching in Health economics, including educating researchers in the field by employing student assistants and doctoral students. The Faculty of social sciences is host to the programme. HERO consists of several projects, see HERO's own web pages at http://www.med.uio.no/helsam/english/research/network/hero/
