About
Corneliu Bolbocean
Economist and health services researcher working on quality-of-life measurement, early-life developmental outcomes, maternal–child health and causal inference.
Biography
Corneliu Bolbocean is an economist and health services researcher. His work brings together health economics, outcomes measurement and applied econometrics to study how events early in life — and around pregnancy and birth — shape health and wellbeing over the long run.
His first-author research examines the health economics implications of adverse pregnancy outcomes, preterm birth and miscarriage, the value of neonatal care interventions, and outcomes in mental health and autism spectrum disorders. It has appeared in journals including Social Science & Medicine, Value in Health, PharmacoEconomics, Quality of Life Research, Food Policy, Autism Research and The Bone & Joint Journal.
Methodologically the work draws on longitudinal birth cohorts, individual participant data meta-analysis, linked administrative and electronic health records, and causal-inference designs. Much of it is carried out with international consortia of cohort investigators across Europe, North America and Australasia.
Alongside this first-author programme he has contributed to studies in clinical genomics, epilepsy genetics, cancer screening and implementation science, generally on the economic evaluation and outcomes-measurement side.
A complete and continuously updated publication record is available on ORCID.
