Antoine Lacombe
PhD candidate in Health Economics
I am a PhD candidate in Health Economics at Aix-Marseille School of Economics (Aix-Marseille Université).
My work focuses on patient preferences and infectious-disease prevention (vaccination policies, screening/testing strategies, and other countermeasures), with the goal of producing evidence that is credible for decision-making in public health and HEOR contexts.
I am econometrics-driven. I design and estimate stated-preference studies (DCE, best–worst scaling, participatory value evaluation) and apply choice models to quantify preference heterogeneity and policy-relevant trade-offs (notably using the R package Apollo). In parallel, I work with real-world evidence (RWE) to evaluate heterogeneous responses across populations and contexts.
I currently contribute to projects on improving the acceptability and accessibility of countermeasures against emerging epidemic threats (ACME, Institut Pasteur). I also develop cost and cost-effectiveness analyses to support prevention and preparedness strategies, including work on climate-related infectious-disease risk.
