DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Health Economics Program in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Boston University School of Public Health seeks funding to support continuation of the highly successful Annual Health Economics Conferences (AHEC) for 2010 (at Lehigh University), 2011 (at Northwestern University) and 2012 (To Be Determined). 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 these conferences 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 1.5-day, small group setting. Over the past 20 years, AHEC has been hosted by most of the major universities that offer advanced degree programs and have major funded research programs in health economics. The unique nature of each conference focus combined with the prestige of each university has ensured exceptionally high quality papers and serious interactions among conference participants. For these three years, 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) addressing the current changing health care reform environment by including sessions that focus on two critical issues in the cost, productivity, organization, and market forces of health care that are of current importance for public policy and AHRQ: 1) the economics of value, quality, and incentives (in 2010), and 2) the economics of markets, concentration, and organization (in 2011). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: 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 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Annual Health Economics conferences hope to build upon the rich tradition established by the preceding twenty Annual Health Economics Conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：卫生政策和管理在公共卫生波士顿大学学院的部门卫生经济学计划寻求资金，以支持非常成功的年度卫生经济学会议（AHEC）的延续2010年（在利哈伊大学），2011年（在西北大学）和2012年（待定）。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。在这种情况下，这些会议的目的是：（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1.5天的密集小组中，培养下一代卫生经济学者。在过去的20年里，AHEC一直由大多数提供高级学位课程的主要大学主办，并在卫生经济学方面拥有主要资助的研究项目。每个会议重点的独特性与每所大学的声望相结合，确保了极高质量的论文和与会者之间的认真互动。对于这三年，会议将建立在过去的成功，（1）保留AHEC的核心结构和传统，广泛讨论卫生经济学的前沿，政策相关的研究，（2）通过包括会议，重点关注两个关键问题，在成本，生产力，组织，和卫生保健的市场力量，是目前重要的公共政策和AHRQ：1）价值，质量和激励经济学（2010年），2）市场经济学，集中和组织（2011年）。 公共卫生相关性：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21届、第22届和第23届年度卫生经济学会议希望在前20届年度卫生经济学会议建立的丰富传统的基础上再接再厉。
