Deadline for submission of papers: Friday, 7 December 2007
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 of no economics content will be rejected
- Work-in-progress papers and those at an early stage of development and encouraged. Reproduced reports and papers (especially those written for other audiences) and book chapters will be rejected.
- 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 may be selected on a first-come-first-served basis.
