Reserach
Naimi Johansson focuses her research on the effects of health care policy and health economic evaluations. Specifically, her research is about how patient out-of-pocket prices affect demand for health care, why the use of health care differs between Swedish regions, and about the evidence of health improvments and cost-effectivesness behind policy decisions in introducing new pharmaceuticals. The methods used to study this type of policy questions are econometric analyses and large observational datasets (register data). Naimi Johansson is also involved in a research project on diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes and the cost-effectiveness of changed criteria.
Teaching
Naimi Johansson teaches primarily micro economics and health economics.
