Australian Conference of Health Economists

Date: September 30 to October 1, 2010
Abstract deadline: July 30, 2010
The 32nd Australian Conference of Health Economists, organised by the Australian Health Economics Society (AHES), will be held in Sydney on Thursday 30th September and Friday 1st October, 2010. The local organisers are Marian Shanahan (University of New South Wales) and Alison Hayes (University of Sydney)
Abstracts for papers are invited on any topics relating to health economics (presentations will be 20 minutes), and proposals are invited for organised sessions (lasting 1.5 hours). Session organisers will have some discretion on the organisation of their session, but one suggestion would be to combine three speakers with an overall discussant. Note that an individual is only allowed to present one paper at the conference, either in a contributed or an organised session.
Abstracts and session proposals should be e-mailed in pdf format to ahescon2010@gmail.com no later than Monday 5th July 2010. Abstracts and session proposals received after the deadline will not be considered. Authors/Session Organisers will be notified of decisions regarding acceptance by Friday 30th July 2010.
A full copy of the paper (7,000 words maximum) is required by Monday 20th September 2010 and papers will be placed on the AHES website one week prior to the conference.
