Program 

The 6th Workshop in Behavioral and Experimental Health Economics is hosted by the Department of Health Management and Health Economics, University of Oslo. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers who apply behavioral economics and experimental methods to topics in health economics, policy, and management, in order to present and discuss their papers and ideas. We welcome contributions on all health topics using all experimental methods, including eld, lab, and online experiments. The workshop will include a Special CEAR Session on the topic of risk preferences in health, organized by Professor Glenn Harrison (Georgia State University). For each paper, we allocate 60 minutes to provide speakers with the opportunity for an in-depth presentation of their research.

Her research is published in top scientific journals such as Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and American Economic Review.
