Petra Sevcikova

Background Information

I joined the Social Policy subject group in 2010 as a member of the Global Public Health Unit. I am a graduate of Comenius University (Bratislava) and completed my PhD in Economics at CERGE-EI in Prague. I previously held research and teaching positions at the Economics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Centre for International Public Health Policy (University of Edinburgh).

Research Interests

I am currently involved in the EU FP7 funded project Accessing Medicines in Africa and South Asia (AMASA). This project was stimulated by our earlier research on three pharmaceuticals in India and Nepal, Tracing Pharmaceuticals in South Asia: regulation, distribution and consumption, jointly funded by DfID and ESRC. My research focuses on the regulation of pharmaceutical industry, such as standards of quality, and the intersection of economic and public health issues related to international harmonisation and enforcement of such regulations. I am also interested in the nonprofit sector research, especially on the co-existence of nonprofit and for-profit firms within an industry.
