21st Annual Health Economics Conference (AHEC)
Click here for tentative agenda
We invite both theoretical and empirical papers on health economics topics and encourage the participation of economists in all fields whose current research focuses on health care issues. Papers will be chosen primarily for their originality, innovativeness, and rigor. We plan to devote a part of the conference to our theme area in health financing reform and universal coverage, so submissions in those areas are especially encouraged.
The cost of meals for presenters and discussants will be paid for by the conference sponsors. All other expenses, including hotel accommodations and transportation, are the participants’ responsibility (exceptions may be made if these expenses represent a significant barrier in attending and lodging expenses may be paid contingent on obtaining external funding).
Interested researchers should submit an abstract (maximum of two pages) by July 1, 2010, in an electronic format (PDF preferred) to inLUahec@lehigh.edu . Please include "Abstract submission" in the subject line.
Those invited to participate in the conference will be notified by July 31, 2010. Submitted papers should be unpublished. Completed papers must be received by the conference organizers by September 15, 2010.
