Australian Conference of Health Economists Call for Papers and Organized Sessions
Location: Brisbane, Australia
Conference Dates: 27-28 September 2007
Abstract Submission Date: 2 July 2007
Venue: Customs House
The 29th Australian Conference of Health Economists, organised by the Australian Health Economics Society (AHES), will be held in Brisbane on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th September, 2007.
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 Michael Shields (ahes2007@econ.unimelb.edu.au) no later than Monday 2nd July 2007. Abstracts and session proposals received after the deadline will not be considered. Authors/Session Organisers will be notified of decisions regarding acceptance by Friday 27th July 2006.
A full copy of the paper (7,000 words maximum) is required by the 19th September 2007 and papers will be placed on the AHES website one week prior to the conference.
Keynote Speakers
- Professor Jim Butler, Australian National University
- Professor Ali McGuire, London School of Economics
- Professor Wynand van de Ven, Erasmus University
The conference will be held in Brisbane at the Customs House (http://www.customshouse.com.au/)
The local organiser is Luke Connelly (University of Queensland; e-mail: l.connelly@uq.edu.au).

Travel Scholarships: The Australian Health Economics Society will finance up to two Travel Scholarships to assist junior researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to attend the 2007 Conference and present a paper. AHES will refund the travel and conference expenses up to a maximum of A$1,500 per scholarship.
