Workshop: Using Discrete Choice Experiments in Health Economics: Theoretical and Practical Issues
Location: Aberdeen, UK
Venue: Jury’s Inn
Dates: 10th - 12th November 2010
The Health Economics Research Unit (HERU) is pleased to announce the return of this popular workshop taught by Prof. Mandy Ryan and Dr. Verity Watson. It is increasingly recognised in many publicly provided health care systems that limited resources coupled with unlimited demand require decisions to be made about the efficient allocation of scarce resources. Economic techniques can inform such decisions. One technique adopted, and further developed, by health economists over the past decade is the discrete choice experiment (DCE) (also known as conjoint analysis).
The workshop will provide:
- Background information on the theoretical basis for, & application of, DCEs
- Hands-on experience in DCE design, and a practical guide to data input, data analysis, and the interpretation of DCE results
- An overview of methodological issues and recent developments in the application of DCEs.
This workshop will provide an opportunity for those interested in the application of DCEs to discuss both practical and theoretical issues raised when applying the method. The workshop will include group work sessions with feedback. No knowledge of economics or DCEs is assumed.
