Biography
Mandy is Emeritus Professor at the Health Economics Research Unit (HERU), a HIAS Bridges Distinguished Professor at Hitotsubashi Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS), Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, Japan and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's national academy of science. Mandy was Director of HERU from April 2013 to July 2024. Her research interests focus on taking a person-centred approach to valuation in health economics. Mandy introduced Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) into health economics in the early 1990s as a method to take account of patient and community preferences in the delivery of health care. Her research includes both methodological work to develop DCEs and applied work in a range of policy contexts to take account of the user preferences in the delivery of healthcare.
