DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Title: 19th Annual Health Economics Conference Abstract. The Center for Health and the Social Sciences (CHeSS) at The University of Chicago seeks funding to support continuation of the highly successful Annual Health Economics Conference (AHEC) to be held March 20-21, 2008 at the University of Chicago's Gleacher Conference Center. The AHEC conference uses a small conference format for rigorous presentation and discussion of health economics research, with special attention to its application to policy. In this context, the aims of this conference are: (1) to advance the policy applicability of health economics by exploring theoretical issues with high potential for application to real-world health settings; (2) to improve the policy relevance of empirical health economics by fostering research that emphasizes the study of important current policy questions using rigorous methods; and (3) to develop the next generation of health economic scholars by placing promising junior economists with high-profile senior economists in an intensive two-day, small group setting. This year the conference will build upon past success by (1) retaining the core structure and tradition of AHEC, with extensive discussion of leading-edge, policy- relevant research in health economics and (2) including two sessions that focus on two critical issues in pharmaceutical economics that are of current importance for public policy and AHRQ: 1) the economics of comparative effectiveness research, including drug safety and regulation, and 2) early analysis of the effects of the Medicare Part D Benefit. In addition, Nobel Laureate James Heckman will deliver a keynote address on early childhood exposures and their impact on health. The Annual Health Economics Conference brings together the leaders in the field of Health Economics to discuss and to present on issues that have a direct effect on public health policy in the US. The 19th annual Health Economics conference hopes to build upon the rich tradition established by the preceding Annual Health Economics Conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：标题：第19届年度卫生经济学会议摘要。健康和社会科学中心（CHeSS）在芝加哥大学寻求资金，以支持将于2008年3月20日至21日在芝加哥大学的格里彻会议中心举行的非常成功的年度健康经济学会议（AHEC）的延续。AHEC会议采用小型会议形式，对卫生经济学研究进行严格的介绍和讨论，特别关注其在政策中的应用。在此背景下，本次会议的目的是：（1）通过探索具有应用于现实世界卫生环境的高潜力的理论问题，推进卫生经济学的政策适用性;（2）通过促进强调使用严格方法研究当前重要政策问题的研究，提高实证卫生经济学的政策相关性;以及（3）通过将有前途的初级经济学家与知名的高级经济学家放在一个为期两天的密集小组中，培养下一代卫生经济学者。今年的会议将在过去成功的基础上，（1）保留AHEC的核心结构和传统，广泛讨论卫生经济学领域的前沿政策相关研究，（2）包括两个会议，重点关注制药经济学中对公共政策和AHRQ具有重要意义的两个关键问题：1）比较有效性研究的经济学，包括药物安全性和监管，以及2）对Medicare Part D福利影响的早期分析。此外，诺贝尔奖获得者詹姆斯·赫克曼将发表关于儿童早期暴露及其对健康影响的主题演讲。年度卫生经济学会议汇集了卫生经济学领域的领导者，讨论并提出对美国公共卫生政策有直接影响的问题。第19届年度卫生经济学会议希望建立在以前年度卫生经济学会议建立的丰富传统的基础上。
