Martin Feldstein
Martin Feldstein was a Fellow of Nuffield from 1964 to 1967, the year in which he received his DPhil (doctorate) supervised by Terence Gorman (and later became an Honorary Fellow). Feldstein's research pioneered the empirical analysis of production functions for hospitals using differences in location and time within the National Health Service (NHS) to estimate the costs and benefits of various medical procedures. His findings were published in both medical and economics journals, as well as a book (Feldstein 1967), helping shift analyses of healthcare productivity from studies of specific cases to population data sets (see https://voxeu.org/article/ideas-and-influence- martin-feldstein-1939-2019).
