WORKSHOP: Using Discrete Choice Experiments in Health Economics:
Theoretical and Practical Issues.
19th - 21st November 2008, King's College, University of Aberdeen.
The Health Economics Research Unit (HERU) is pleased to announce the return
of this popular workshop. 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 know 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.
Places are limited if you are interested in attending this workshop, please visit

further information and registration details.
