Two PhD students in health economics / Deux doctorant\\xc2\\xb7e\\xc2\\xb7s en \\xc3\\xa9conomie de la sant\\xc3\\xa9 (100%)

Vos missions principales seront les suivantes :

You will be working on an interdisciplinary SNF-funded Sinergia project ( ) project entitled \"From Farm to Fork and beyond: A Systemic Approach for Implementing True Cost Accounting for Food in Switzerland (TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD)\". Food and agriculture systems have significant environmental, social, and health impacts that are not reflected in the cost of food. True cost accounting for food (TCAF) - measuring social, environmental, and health impacts in monetary terms - has been put forward at the national and international levels as a potentially powerful tool for transforming food systems. TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD first aims at providing a comprehensive understanding and a unified methodology of TCAF in Switzerland, based on existing research in other contexts. The project plans to go beyond the existing methodologies by integrating the public health dimension and developing health impact metrics. A second innovative goal of the project is to propose implementation pathways and analyze their acceptability by engaging with Swiss stakeholders across the value chain. It plans to identify interdependencies and levers for change at different levels, including policy-making, the private sector, and consumers. By building a proof of concept, the project would ultimately shed light on the multifunctionality of food and ease the shift of incentives toward healthier and more sustainable food for all. TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD takes an interdisciplinary, holistic, and systemic approach to food systems. Several disciplines (agriculture, public health, environmental engineering, economics, business and innovation, behavioral sciences, and international relations) will work together to achieve the above-mentioned goals.

One PhD position will be focused on the development of an economic model of the true cost of food, as well as the economic analysis of potential policy interventions, including taxation. The other PhD position will focus on the analysis of consumer choice, behavioural economics and the development of experimental studies of food labelling and choices (co-supervision between Unisant\\xc3\\xa9 and the Berner Fachhochschule). In addition to your activities within the Health Economics and Policy Sector, co-led by Prof. Joachim Marti, you will closely collaborate with Prof. Murielle Bochud and her team who have expertise in epidemiology, public health, and nutrition, as well as with the broader project team based in various institutions and research centres in the country (i.e., University of Lausanne, E4S, EPFL, BFH, University of Bern, HEG Fribourg).

Vous travaillerez sur un projet Sinergia financ\\xc3\\xa9 par le FNS (Fonds national suisse) intitul\\xc3\\xa9 \"From Farm to Fork and beyond: A Systemic Approach for Implementing True Cost Accounting for Food in Switzerland (TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD)\". Les syst\\xc3\\xa8mes alimentaires et agricoles ont d\\\'importants impacts environnementaux, sociaux et sanitaires qui ne sont pas refl\\xc3\\xa9t\\xc3\\xa9s dans le co\\xc3\\xbbt des aliments. La comptabilit\\xc3\\xa9 des co\\xc3\\xbbts r\\xc3\\xa9els des aliments (TCAF) - mesurant les impacts sociaux, environnementaux et sanitaires en termes mon\\xc3\\xa9taires - a \\xc3\\xa9t\\xc3\\xa9 pr\\xc3\\xa9sent\\xc3\\xa9e au niveau national et international comme un outil potentiellement puissant pour transformer les syst\\xc3\\xa8mes alimentaires. TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD vise tout d\\\'abord \\xc3\\xa0 fournir une compr\\xc3\\xa9hension globale et une m\\xc3\\xa9thodologie unifi\\xc3\\xa9e de la TCAF en Suisse, en s\\\'appuyant sur des recherches existantes dans d\\\'autres contextes. Le projet pr\\xc3\\xa9voit d\\\'aller au-del\\xc3\\xa0 des m\\xc3\\xa9thodologies existantes en int\\xc3\\xa9grant la dimension de la sant\\xc3\\xa9 publique et en d\\xc3\\xa9veloppant des indicateurs d\\\'impact sur la sant\\xc3\\xa9. Un deuxi\\xc3\\xa8me objectif innovant du projet est de proposer des voies de mise en \\xc5\\x93uvre et d\\\'analyser leur acceptabilit\\xc3\\xa9 en impliquant les parties prenantes suisses tout au long de la cha\\xc3\\xaene de valeur. Il vise \\xc3\\xa0 identifier les interd\\xc3\\xa9pendances et les leviers de changement \\xc3\\xa0 diff\\xc3\\xa9rents niveaux, y compris la prise de d\\xc3\\xa9cision politique, le secteur priv\\xc3\\xa9 et les consommateurs. En construisant une preuve de concept, le projet \\xc3\\xa9clairera finalement la multifonctionnalit\\xc3\\xa9 de l\\\'alimentation et facilitera le passage \\xc3\\xa0 des incitations en faveur d\\\'une alimentation plus saine et plus durable pour tous. TRUE-COST-OF-FOOD adopte une approche interdisciplinaire, holistique et syst\\xc3\\xa9mique des syst\\xc3\\xa8mes alimentaires. Plusieurs disciplines (agriculture, sant\\xc3\\xa9 publique, g\\xc3\\xa9nie environnemental, \\xc3\\xa9conomie, entreprise et innovation, sciences du comportement et relations internationales) travailleront ensemble pour atteindre les objectifs mentionn\\xc3\\xa9s ci-dessus.

Un des postes de doctorat sera ax\\xc3\\xa9 sur le d\\xc3\\xa9veloppement d\\\'un mod\\xc3\\xa8le \\xc3\\xa9conomique du co\\xc3\\xbbt r\\xc3\\xa9el des aliments, ainsi que sur l\\\'analyse \\xc3\\xa9conomique des \\xc3\\xa9ventuelles politiques publiques, y compris la taxation. L\\\'autre poste se concentrera sur l\\\'analyse du choix des consommateurs, sur l\\\'\\xc3\\xa9conomie comportementale et le d\\xc3\\xa9veloppement d\\\'\\xc3\\xa9tudes exp\\xc3\\xa9rimentales sur l\\\'\\xc3\\xa9tiquetage et les choix alimentaires (co-supervision entre Unisant\\xc3\\xa9 et la Berner Fachhochschule). En plus de vos activit\\xc3\\xa9s au sein du secteur \\xc3\\x89conomie et Politiques de Sant\\xc3\\xa9, co-dirig\\xc3\\xa9 par le Professeur Joachim Marti, vous collaborerez \\xc3\\xa9troitement avec la Professeure Murielle Bochud et son \\xc3\\xa9quipe, qui ont une expertise en \\xc3\\xa9pid\\xc3\\xa9miologie, en sant\\xc3\\xa9 publique et en nutrition, ainsi qu\\\'avec l\\\'\\xc3\\xa9quipe \\xc3\\xa9largie du projet bas\\xc3\\xa9e dans diverses institutions et centres de recherche du pays (c\\\'est-\\xc3\\xa0-dire l\\\'Universit\\xc3\\xa9 de Lausanne, E4S, l\\\'EPFL, la BFH, l\\\'Universit\\xc3\\xa9 de Berne, la HEG Fribourg).
