3rd Biennial Conference is Coming Up!

The Third Biennial Conference of the American Society of Health Economists is rapidly approaching. The conference will be June 20-23, 2010, at Cornell University with Syracuse and Rochester Universities serving as co-hosts. This seems like a long time off but it is already time to submit plans for organized sessions and individual abstracts.

Abstract Submission is taking place online, sign up for an account to submit

Deadline: January 25, 2010

We are currently welcoming submission of session proposals for the 3rd Biennial Conference for ASHEcon via e-mail

If you have any questions concerning submission, please feel free to contact us at the same email address.

Submission Requirements: You need either a 2009 ASHEcon membership (Individual - $50 or Student - $35) or the non-member submission fee ($150). You can submit as many abstracts (as presenter) or session proposals (as organizer) with either the ASHEcon membership or the non-member submission fee.

You probably already know the first and second ASHEcon conferences were great successes. The number of papers presented orally approached 500 and the number in attendance was slightly under 700. Both conferences were given very high evaluations by those who responded to questionnaires. If you attended them, you already know this and will not want to miss this third conference. If you missed those conferences, then you have an even stronger reason to want to participate in the most highly acclaimed health economics conference in the US. The papers presented will represent the cutting edge research being conducted in virtually every area of health economics.

In addition, Kip Viscusi, University Distinguished Professor of Law, Economics, and Management at Vanderbilt University, and Sherry Glied, Professor of Economics at Columbia University and nominee to be Assistant Secretary for Policy and Evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services, will be the speakers at the plenary sessions.

Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, is a great place to be in June. This will be a great opportunity to present your most current research, listen to that of others and network with a large number of health economists. We invite you to get your organized session or individual abstract in soon. Complete guidelines can be found on the ASHEcon website

Regards,

Randy Ellis, President Elect and Chair of the Program Committee

Call for Papers: Special Issue on "Health, Economics, and Family Role"

A Special Issue of "Journal of Family and Economic Issues" to be published in June, 2011 has issued a call for papers.

Manuscript Submission Due Date: March 1, 2010

This special issue of the Journal of Family and Economic Issues invites original empirical or theoretical research papers relevant to the role of individuals and families in improving the health of nation. While much of the policy debate on health care reform focuses on health care providers and the payers for health care, a large part of the health of individuals and the nation depends on the actions of individuals and families--in learning health skills and in living healthier lifestyles.
