In May, when I spoke at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. I was interviewed by TrendSanita, and that interview has just been published. (It's in Italian, but Google Translate works very well):
A TrendSanità parla il premio Nobel 2012 per l’economia Alvin Eliot Roth: « Il nostro compito come economisti non è solo lavorare a come allocare al meglio risorse scarse ma, possibilmente, fare in modo che diventino meno scarse» di Cesare Buquicchio 24 Ottobre 2024
["The 2012 Nobel Prize winner for economics Alvin Eliot Roth speaks to TrendSanità: «Our task as economists is not only to work out how to best allocate scarce resources but, possibly, to make them less scarce»}
"In an in-depth analysis of the Italian and international transplant system, Roth highlights the progress and the challenges that remain. " Italy reached the highest level in its history for organ donations in 2023 , but there is still a lot of work to do to bridge the gap between supply and demand, once again, an economic concept," he adds with a smile.
...
"Roth's vision for the future is clear: an integrated European system that allows for the optimization of organ exchanges across national borders, increasing the chances of finding compatible donors for each patient. An ambitious goal that requires not only technological innovation and medical coordination, but also a new understanding of the economic mechanisms that can make the transplant system more efficient. " Economics may seem distant from medicine, but when it comes to saving lives through better allocation of resources, economic principles become valuable tools at the service of public health ," concludes Roth."
