Congrats to Dr. Harsha Thirumurthy on his latest running achievement! He ran the Tunnel Hill 50-mile race in Illinois. He finished in 5:38:27, setting a new American men’s record in his age group, and breaking the previous record which had stood for a quarter century! @hthirumurthy.bsky.social

📈 Once niche, health economics is now central to the field.

A new study shows its share in top journals tripled since the 1990s—driven not by conformity, but by innovative, high-quality research.

Health is shaping the future of economics.

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of my friend, mentor, and co-author Dr. Allen Goodman. Allen was an exceptional mentor and was kind, thoughtful, and supportive. I am passing his legacy on, teach the next generation of health economists.

For years, I've heard mutterings about odds ratios

This is the best explanation I've ever read about why to abandon Odds Ratios NOT for relative risks, but instead FOR marginal probabilities

"Requiem for odds ratios"🧪

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
4 MARGINAL EFFECTS CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS DIFFERENT MODEL SPECIFICATIONS AND STUDIES In the readmission example above, a clearer option would be to report marginal effects in terms of a percentage point change in the probability of readmission, along with the base readmission rate for context.® In health services research, the most common way of reporting marginal effects is through average marginal effects-the average of the marginal effects computed for each person. These are interpreted as the mean percentage point difference-not the percent differ-ence-in outcome probabilities that accompany a change in the treatment variable's value. For binary treatments, an alternative is to present the predicted probabilities of the outcome when the treatment variable equals 0 and 1. Marginal effects are much less sensitive to the unknown scaling factor and exhibit little change when independent covariates are added to the logistic regression model. When averaged, many of these...

Does having #healthinsurance actually improve health and reduce mortality?
