报告简介：

This talk will cover some theoretical and practical problems in the handing of situations where decision makers can take a number of policy actions which have differential impacts across a population. We will contextualise and motivate our discussion by presenting a case study of healthcare prioritisation on the Isle of Wight (England, UK) and present some novel technical machinery which might help support decision making when there is a concern about inequality but a reluctance to specify precise tradeoffs between gains to different population subgroups. The research journey reported in the talk covers 10 years from motivating case study through reflection and theoretic development to the publication of the final research outputs. I will conclude with some reflections on the relationship between theory and practice in Management Science.
