Eleventh european workshop
on econometrics and health economics

11-14 September 2002
Department of Economics and LUCHE, Lund University

 

Local organiser: Carl Hampus Lyttkens
Local secretary: Inger Lindgren
Series organisers: Andrew Jones (University of York) and Owen O’Donnell (University of Macedonia)

Funding:
Special funding for 2002: The Arne Ryde Foundation and Lund University
Series funding: The European Commission and University of York

The programme:
This series of workshops is intended to provide a forum for the development and dissemination of applications of econometrics and other quantitative methods in health economics. The focus is on applied econometrics but we are happy to consider health-related applications of mathematical economics, experimental economics and other quantitative approaches.

As in previous years, the number of participants will be limited to around 45 to avoid the need for parallel sessions. The programme will consist of 12-15 papers. Each paper will be allocated an hour, made up of a short presentation by the authors, followed by a response from a nominated discussant and a general discussion. Papers will be circulated in advance and taken as read. Participants will be expected to attend the whole meeting and it is hoped that all participants will play a role as author, discussant or chairperson. There will be special sessions devoted to presentations by doctoral students and young researchers.

Accommodation has been reserved for workshop participants at the hotel Concordia. Subsidies should be available to help cover the registration and travel costs of those who participate.

Selection of papers:
Papers for the 2002 Workshop will be selected on the basis of full drafts. The deadline for submitting draft papers is 14 June 2002. Authors will have the opportunity to submit their papers for publication in the "workshop issue" of Health Economics, and it would be helpful if papers are prepared according to the journal’s notes for contributors.
