4th CINCH-dggö Academy
We are proud to launch the fourth edition of the CINCH-dggö Academy in Health Economics focusing this year on the “Causal methods in policy analysis” and “economics of health insurance”. The summer school is jointly organised by CINCH, the national research centre for health economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the dggö, the German Society for Health Economics.
The summer school will bring together a group of junior and senior researchers to share a week of expert lectures, research presentations, and special sessions. Expert lectures will be given by Andrew Goodman Bacon (Federal Reserve of Minneapolis) on causal policy analysis and on the economics of health insurance by Professor Sayeh Nikpay (University of Minneapolis). Special sessions include a “Meet the Editor” session with Tatyana Deryugina, editor-in-chief at American Economic Review: Insights and Professor of Finance at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and special sessions on academic publishing, the academic job market, and speed networking with senior researchers. Each day will conclude with an attractive social and cultural program.
Target audience: PhD students and early career postdocs working on health economics and closely related topics. Only 21 students will be admitted.
Seniors speakers for special sessions: Pietro Biroli (University of Bologna), Daniel Kühnle (University Duisburg-Essen), Analisa Packham (Vanderbuilt University), Martin Salm (Tilburg University), Reyn van Ewijk (University of Mainz).
Registration fees: EUR 350. Fees cover lunches and dinners, and the social program.
Application: We accept all empirical papers broadly related to health economics.
To apply, send your CV and a full paper to cinch.academy@wiwinf.uni-due.de. We strongly encourage female students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds to apply.
Local organiser: Contact Daniel Kühnle, University of Duisburg-Essen, if you have any questions!
We look forward to your submissions!
