University of Cologne
Preliminary ProgramFollowing the success of the previous workshops in Oslo, Hamilton, and Essen, we are pleased to host the fourth Workshop in Behavioral and Experimental Health Economics in Cologne. The workshop brings together economists who apply behavioral insights and experimental methods to health economics in order to present and discuss their research. The workshop is part of the activities of the Behavioural Experiments in Health Network: http://www.beh-net.org/.
We welcome contributions on all topics within health economics applying experimental methods, be it laboratory or field experiments. Topics of this year’s workshop focus on provider incentives, patient behavior, and risk preferences in health (Special CEAR Session on Risk organized by Glenn Harrison). Each paper is allocated one hour (40 min. presentation, 10 min. comments by a discussant, 10 min. general discussion) to provide participants with the opportunity for an in-depth discussion.
