RFBerlin is organizing a conference on health and economic well-being.
This year’s event will address a broad range of issues related to the links between health and economic outcomes. These include, but are not limited to, the impact of health on labor markets and productivity, the economic and social determinants of health, health inequalities, the role of public policy in promoting well-being, and other related themes.
Academic programme
This conference brings together economists and social scientists to explore the relationship between health and economic outcomes. Over two days, the programme features twelve research sessions, two keynote lectures, and poster presentations covering topics such as health inequalities, labor markets, medical innovation, and public health policy. The event highlights new empirical research and policy insights at the intersection of health and economic well-being.
Keynote speakers
Liran Einav (Stanford University) is the Charles R. Schwab Professor of Economics at Stanford University and a research associate in the National Bureau of Economic Research, where he is directing the Industrial Organization Program.
His areas of specialization are industrial organization, health economics, and insurance markets. An important strand of his work is focused on empirical analyses of the implications of adverse selection and moral hazard. Much of Einav’s current work is focused on health-care markets.
Marcella Alsan (Stanford University) is Annie and Ned Lamont Professor of International Studies and Director of the Health Inequality Lab at Stanford University. She previously held the Angelopoulos Professorship of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and completed her medical training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. She is the co-recipient of the 2019 and 2025 Kenneth J. Arrow Awards for Best Paper in Health Economics and the 2021 William G. Manning Memorial Award for the Best Research in Health Econometrics.
