SELECTION CRITERIA
Papers on any health economics topic will be considered. Please note
that there is a restriction on the number of slots available for papers,
and there is no guarantee that your abstract will be accepted. In the
case of over-subscription, the scientific committee will select papers
on the following basis:
- Only abstracts submitted before the deadline will be considered
- Papers with little or no economics content will be rejected
- Work-in-progress papers and those at an early stage of development are
encouraged. Reproduced reports and papers (especially those written for
other audiences) and reproduced book chapters will be rejected.
- Papers by PhD students are encouraged.
- Authors, or sets of authors (but not institutions or units), may be
restricted to one paper.
- If all the above criteria are satisfied and the number of papers
submitted still exceeds the number of slots available, papers will be
selected on the basis of quality.
Authors will be notified and the selected papers will be announced with
an invitation for chairs & discussants on 21st October 2008.
PAPERS
If your abstract is accepted, we will be asking you to submit your paper
in Word or PDF format as an e-mail attachment by Tuesday 9th December
2008.
