TILEC - Economic Governance and Legitimacy

TILEC NZa Research Group

The NZa (Dutch Healthcare Authority) and TILEC have engaged in a far-reaching cooperation. Part of this cooperation is that TILEC has committed itself to a number of activities in the mutual interest of TILEC and NZa, while the NZa has provided funding for those activities.

The activities include:

  • Research on policy relevant topics in health care
  • Courses on the economics of health care by senior TILEC researchers
  • Engagement of senior TILEC members in the public debate
  • Cooperation of TILEC staff with other University of Tilburg staff on health
  • Linking the law and economics of health

With this cooperation the University of Tilburg has established itself as a major player in the economics and law of health care in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a promising country for health care research, given its new health care system based on a combination of solidarity and managed competition.
