The 34th Australian Conference of Health Economists will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Darwin on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th September 2012.
For full details and to register, please visit the conference website (http://www.ahes.org.au/conference.htm)
CALL FOR PAPERS
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 Rosalie Viney no later than Monday 9th July 2012. Abstracts and session proposals received after the deadline will not be considered. Authors/Session Organisers will be notified of decisions regarding acceptance by Friday 3rd August 2012. A full copy of the paper (7,000 words maximum) is required by Monday 17th September 2012 and papers will be placed on the AHES website one week prior to the conference.
Confirmed keynote speakers
We are delighted to have as confirmed keynote speakers Professor Carol Propper, Imperial College Business School, London and Bristol University and Professor Denzil Fiebig, Australian Business School, University of NSW.
