The Annual Health Economics Conference (AHEC) is a small invitational conference designed to facilitate exposure and discussion of cutting edge research in health economics. This year, the Martindale Center for the Study of Private Enterprise and the Department of Economics at the Lehigh University College of Business and Economics is pleased to host the 21st Annual Health Economics Conference, on October 15th and 16th, 2010.
A small number of papers (10-12) will be selected for the conference and a significant amount of time will be devoted to each to facilitate in-depth discussion. We invite both theoretical and empirical papers on health economics topics, and encourage participation of economists in all fields whose current research focuses on health care issues. We will aim for a mix of scholars, both young and experienced scholars, established and new to the field. Papers will be chosen based on their originality, degree of innovation, and rigor. We would like to devote part of the conference to our theme in health financing reform and universal coverage so especially encourage submissions in these areas.
