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 academic panel will select papers on the following basis:

Only abstracts submitted before the deadline will be considered.
Papers by PhD students are encouraged.
Work-in-progress papers and those at an early stage of development are encouraged.
Papers with little or no economics content will be rejected.
Reproduced papers and reports (especially those written for other audiences) and reproduced book chapters are likely to 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 there is still over-subscription, papers will be selected on the basis of first-come-first served.
