Esther Grob

Esther Grob is a Full Professor at the Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, where she leads research in Health Technology Assessment (HTA). Her work focuses on health economics, economic evaluation, and discrete choice experiments to understand patient preferences and inform healthcare decision-making.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of health policy and behavioral economics, particularly in measuring and integrating patient preferences into health technology assessment. She investigates decision-making processes in healthcare, the design of preference studies, and the methodological rigor of discrete choice experiments. Her work spans applications in chronic disease management, digital health, vaccination, and rare diseases.

The recent publication trends highlight a strong emphasis on systematic reviews and methodological advancements in discrete choice experiments. Her research consistently addresses key themes such as attribute selection, predictive validity, preference heterogeneity, and the integration of patient perspectives into economic evaluations and health policy. She contributes significantly to the scientific foundation of health economics through scientometric analyses and evidence synthesis.

Esther Grob has supervised several academic works, indicating her role in mentoring students and early-career researchers. While specific grant details are not provided, her extensive publication record and dataset contributions suggest active involvement in funded research projects. She has contributed to datasets on patient preferences in multiple sclerosis treatment, demonstrating real-world impact.

Her research is conducted within the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) group at the Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management, a leading institution in health policy research. She collaborates widely across disciplines and institutions, contributing to a robust network in health economics and decision science.
