## Abstract

Title: 30th-32nd Annual Health Economics Conferences
Abstract:
The Department of Health Policy and Management at the Emory University Rollins
School of Public Health seeks funding to support continuation of the highly successful
Annual Health Economics Conferences (AHEC) for 2019 through 2021 to be held at the
University of California San Francisco, Duke University, and Indiana University. The
AHEC uses a small conference format for rigorous presentation and discussion of
health economics research, with special attention to its application to policy. In this
context, the aims of these conferences are: (1) to advance the policy applicability of
health economics by exploring theoretical issues with high potential for application to
real-world health settings; (2) to improve the policy relevance of empirical health
economics by fostering research that emphasizes the study of important current policy
questions using rigorous methods; and (3) to develop the next generation of health
economic scholars by placing promising junior economists with high-profile senior
economists in an intensive 1.5-day, small group setting. Over the past 30 years, AHEC
has been hosted by most of the major universities that offer advanced degree programs
and have major funded research programs in health economics and health services
research. The unique nature of each conference focus combined with the prestige of
each university has ensured exceptionally high quality papers and serious interactions
among conference participants. This conference will build upon past success by (1)
retaining the core structure and tradition of AHEC, with extensive discussion of leading-
edge, policy-relevant research in health economics and (2) addressing the current
changing health care reform environment by including sessions that focus on critical
issues in the quality, coverage and access to health care that are of current importance
for public policy and AHRQ.
