The Center for Policy Research on Ageing (CEPRA) at Univesità della Svizzera Italiana (USI) and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) are pleased to announce a US-European workshop on "Ageing and Health".
The workshop aims to facilitate the networking of both young and senior scientists and to promote the exchange of research ideas in the economics of ageing, health and health care. In particular, the workshop welcomes empirical contributions on health, physical and cognitive functioning and their association with labor market and broader socioeconomic status; work disability; retirement choices; health, longevity and well-being; and long term care.
To provide a conducive environment for the exchange of ideas, the workshop is limited to a small number of presenters and discussants. Participants are expected to attend the entire workshop, which will be hosted by the CEPRA at USI in Lugano from June 2 to June 3.
CEPRA will generously cover the cost of accommodations as well as economy-class advance-purchase airfare for one author per paper.
The deadline for submitting detailed abstracts or full papers (in PDF format) is January 15, 2017.
Authors of accepted papers will be notified by February 15th, 2017. Please direct any questions to Emily Wiessner.
