About Roxanne Kovacs
My research interests revolve around the behaviours and preferences of key actors in healthcare markets, often in low and middle-income countries. I am interested in a broad range of issues, including the quality of healthcare, health financing, inequality and the determinants of demand for healthcare. I use quasi-experimental methods, field experiments as well as lab-in-the-field experiments.
I currently hold a three-year Wellcome Trust post-doctoral Research Fellowship.
My recent work focuses on:
- The association between overconfidence and the quality of healthcare delivered
- Whether surveys or lab-in-the-field experiments are better suited at measuring patient trust in healthcare providers
- The effect of compulsory face mask policies on community mobility in Germany
