Workshop on Experiments in Health

Workshop from the City Health Economics Centre (CHEC) and the Theory & Experiment Research Group,  Department of Economics at City St George's.

This one-day workshop is for academic researchers working on experimental methods in health economics.

The event features presentations on a variety of topics at the intersection of experimental economics and health, such as health behaviours, financial decision-making, social preferences, institutional trust, and the evaluation of health interventions. Special emphasis will be placed on experimental design, behavioural responses, and the application of experimental methods to policy-relevant issues.

This workshop is free to attend but spaces are limited. If you wish to join, please register above.
