The NBER Health Economics Program will hold its Summer Institute on
Monday afternoon, July 20 and Tuesday morning, July 21, 2009 at the
Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA. I am interested in soliciting
papers on issues related to the economics of substance use and abuse,
economic aspects of obesity, and economic approaches to the determinants
of the health of infants, children, and adults. Since I want to allow
sufficient time for discussion, six papers will be presented at the
Institute.
If you have a paper that you would like to present, please send it or an
abstract to me. I prefer electronic submissions in Word, PDF/Adobe,
or WordPerfect to the e-mail address below. Alternatively you can mail
the paper or abstract to me at the address below. Please do not submit
it by fax. Please also send a copy to Ted Joyce
(Theodore.Joyce_at_baruch.cuny.edu). Please send all submissions by APRIL
15, 2009. Unfortunately space is limited at the Summer Institute, and
thus it will not be possible to invite everyone who receives this call
for papers. Invited participants will receive logistical information at
the sometime in May.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Rob Shannon in the NBER Conference Department by phoning him at
617-868-3900 or by sending an e-mail message to him at
rshannon_at_nber.org.
