Rate My Professor Philip Clarke

Clarke's research focuses on health economics, simulation modelling, and health inequalities. He contributed to the development of the UKPDS Outcomes Model, a key health economic simulation model for type 2 diabetes used in evaluating interventions. He has authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications, including works on socioeconomic inequality of health, health poverty measurement, and quality-adjusted life years in diabetes models, such as 'On the measurement of socioeconomic inequality of health between health groups using longitudinal data' (2017) and 'Defining and measuring health poverty' (2019). Clarke has also contributed to books on cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis published by Oxford University Press. His policy-relevant research has supported the World Bank, OECD, AusAID, and the Australian Department of Health, influencing debates on generic pharmaceutical pricing and improvements in health outcomes and costs data in Australia. Clarke has received funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Medical Research Council (MRC), and National Institutes of Health (NIH). He maintains a fractional appointment at Melbourne while directing the Health Economics Research Centre at the University of Oxford.
