معرفی
Henning Øien serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Health Management and Health Economics within the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo. His academic profile centers on health economics and policy analysis with specialized focus on Norwegian long-term care systems, nursing home economics, and health care financing mechanisms.
Research interests include Health Economics, Long-term Care Policy, and Labor Market Dynamics in Health. Øien employs rigorous register-based cohort studies and econometric modeling to investigate how economic incentives, policy changes, and health shocks impact elderly care outcomes, workforce behavior, and healthcare expenditure trajectories. His work consistently bridges theoretical economic frameworks with practical Norwegian policy applications.
Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate evolving research themes: pandemic impacts on nursing home residents, forecasting methodologies for disease-specific health expenditures, and physician retention dynamics in primary care. These studies reveal sophisticated use of Norwegian administrative data to address pressing questions about healthcare sustainability amid demographic aging.
Øien actively contributes to the NORCHER (Norwegian Centre for Health Services Research) project and collaborates within the Health Economics Research Network (HERO) and Health Economics and Policy Group. His research directly informs Norwegian health policy debates on resource allocation, equity considerations, and long-term care financing reforms.
