On June 16th-17th, the Centre for Health Economic Research (HEFUU) at Uppsala University arranged a workshop on “Causal Health Economics” with 25 participants at Krusenbergs Herrgård near Uppsala. It was the second time that HEFUU arranged this workshop.

His research has been featured in several magazines and newspapers of record, such as the Economist and the Washington Post.
