Research
The scientific publications, which are published by the CSS Institute for Empirical Health Economics, provide answers to discipline-specific questions. The collection of scientific publications authored by CSS statisticians and economists now includes several dozen studies, articles, and book chapters.
With its teaching engagements, the institute aims to shed light on the economic and actuarial structures and mechanisms of social and private health insurance.
The institute is intended to deliver empirically verifiable answers to questions about how healthcare services can be financed efficiently and how their cost can be distributed fairly.
