Date: 27 June 2009
Submission deadline: 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on December 1, 2008
Venue: In conjunction with 2009 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting, June 28–30, 2008
The IG Meeting:
The meeting will be structured as a workshop, during which presenters will provide a detailed discussion of their motivation, methods, and results, and discussants will have the opportunity to comment on and critique papers. Audience participation also will be encouraged by giving attendees access to the manuscripts prior to the meeting. The goal is to offer researchers the opportunity to present their research in-depth in a setting that promotes a higher level of exchange. Presenters will be required to submit completed papers one month prior to the meeting in order to provide discussants and participants time to read the research and prepare thoughtful commentary during the meeting.
Criteria for Evaluating Submissions
Submissions will undergo blind peer review and be evaluated using the following criteria: (1) methodological rigor in economic theory or econometrics; (2) quality and originality; (3) potential significance to economic theory, policy, or practice; (4) clarity of writing and presentation; and (5) presence of preliminary findings and the likelihood of having a completed paper by the deadline. Priority will be given to new or previously unpublished research.
Submission of papers
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by a committee of volunteer reviewers. Authors of selected abstracts will be required to provide a full manuscript on or before May 27, 2009.
