September 03, 2024
Lecturer in Economics, Université Bourgogne Europe,
FERDI Research Fellow
Aurore Pélissier holds a PhD in economics from the Centre for International Development Studies (Cerdi, Université Clermont Auvergne). Her thesis focused on the challenges of universal health coverage in developing countries, with two case studies (China and Cambodia), under the supervision of Professor Jacky Mathonnat and Martine Audibert (CNRS Research Director). Her research lies within the field of the economic analysis of health policies.
Her work is structured around three main areas. The first concerns the economic analysis of disability, with a particular focus on rare diseases and disabilities, as well as the situation of family carers, notably through the interdisciplinary CASEPRA project (2020–2024). The second area focuses on the conditions for the dissemination of and access to innovative health technologies, particularly genomic medicine, from the perspectives of efficiency and equity. Finally, she is developing expertise in the evaluation of health systems in developing countries, with a particular focus on Togo, in collaboration with FERDI. Her research adopts an applied and multidisciplinary approach, using economic tools to inform public health policy.
Aurore Pélissier views research as a collective effort, involving academic researchers in economics but also, more broadly, scholars from other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities (such as sociology), as well as health sciences, and practitioners in the field such as rare disease networks, rare disability relay teams, and associations. Since 2009, she has been engaged in projects conducted in close collaboration with the field, both abroad and in France. She has been able to carry out her research thanks to funding from various organisations, including the French Development Agency, the Directorate-General for Healthcare Provision, the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA), the Rare Diseases Foundation, the Institute for Public Health Research, the former Burgundy Region, and the University of Burgundy.
Aurore Pélissier is regularly called upon to review for scientific journals, provide expertise for calls for projects, and engage with the general public (journalist interviews, conference invitations, etc.).
