2009 Health Econometrics Workshop
Location: Chicago, IL
Dates: October 2-3, 2009
Submission deadline: July 1, 2009
The purpose of this invitational workshop is to provide a forum to discuss the use of econometric and other quantitative methods to address issues in health economics and policy, health services research, and outcomes research. An hour will be devoted to each of the papers selected for discussion (approx 9-10). A discussant will present the paper, followed by the author’s rebuttal and open discussion.
We invite papers that develop new methods, assess existing methods, or highlight
the use of non-proprietary software that address topical issues in health economics
and policy. Methods advancing the field of pharmaceutical economics are
encouraged. Papers will be chosen for their originality, innovativeness, and rigor.
Cost of meals for invitees will be paid for by the conference. All other expenses,
including hotel accommodations and transportation, are the participants’
responsibility.
Interested researchers should submit a full working paper by July 1, 2009, in PDF format to admin@healtheconometrics.org. Please: 1) Include “Annual Health Econometrics Workshop” in the subject line; 2) Identify main author who will present rebuttals to discussant; and 3) Include full contact information for main author and all other co-authors on the paper.
Submitted papers should be unpublished and not accepted for publication at a peer reviewed journal. Those invited to participate in the conference will be notified by August 1, 2009. Discussants for each paper will be selected with consent from the author.
