EXTENDED DEADLINE - Call for Abstracts - Fifth ATHEA Conference "Improving Efficiency in Healthcare Systems"
by Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

[cid:image001.png@01D4614B.8833BAC0] Call for Abstracts Fifth ATHEA Conference for Health Economics Vienna, February 27th and 28th 2020 “Improving efficiency in healthcare systems” Digital solutions in healthcare as well as personalised medicine are expected to rapidly change the way healthcare is delivered. This will require major adaptions by the system and consequentially, reallocation of resources. Due to demographic change, overall healthcare expenditures are likely to continue to rise. Healthcare systems therefore need to know where efficiency gains can set free means for reallocation, and the expected abundance of new services needs to be evaluated in order to separate the wheat from the chaff. However, as in medicine, diagnosis is just the starting point. Agents on all levels of the healthcare system, i.e. patients, professionals, payers and policy makers, are exposed to numerous incentives that impact their decisions. In order to reorganise healthcare delivery, policy makers need to understand what hinders or furthers the use of new technologies and superior ways of healthcare delivery and how these incentives can be made more compatible with overall system goals. The fifth ATHEA conference will reflect on this line of thought with a panel discussion on the evening of February 27th, 2020, as well as two keynote lectures and special sessions on the conference day, February 28th, 2020. We are happy to announce two renowned keynote speakers: * Jeanette Brosig-Koch, professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen · Jonas Schreyögg, professor at the University of Hamburg Jeanette Brosig-Koch is director of the Essen Laboratory for Experimental Economics and professor of quantitative economic policy. Jonas Schreyögg is head of the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) at the University of Hamburg, professor for management in healthcare and member of the Sachverständigenrat Gesundheit. As in previous years, submissions for presentation are welcome in all fields of health economics and health policy, including long-term care, and are not restricted to the conference topic. Deadline abstract submission (max. 500 words): EXTENDED TO January 7th, 2020 to conference(a)athea.at<mailto:conference@athea.at> Notification abstract acceptance: January 20th, 2020 (due to extended deadline for abstract submission) Conference venue: Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS), Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Conference languages: English, German Conference fee: 45 Euros Please also note the IDHEAS 2020 conference (Data Envelopment Analysis as an instrument to inform decisions in energy, health and the environment sectors) taking place on March 5th and 6th, 2020, at the same venue. ___________________________________________ Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) Josefstädter Straße 39 ● 1080 Wien web: www.athea.at<http://www.athea.at/> ● e-mail: athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at>

WU Lecture, 18.12.2019: Jörgen Weibull
by Ulrich Berger 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

Dear colleagues, for this year's *WU Lecture in Economics* we invited *Jörgen Weibull*, A.O. Wallenberg professor of economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. His research covers applied and theoretical microeconomics and game theory. Weibull is a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the Econometric Society and a Fellow of the European Economic Association. His work has been published in /American Economic Review/, /Econometrica/, /Quarterly Journal of Economics/, and /Journal of Political Economy/, inter alia. In his WU Lecture he summarizes recent work on an alternative to /homo economicus/. I hope to see many of you there! /Date: /Wednesday, *December 18,* 2019 /Time: /*18:00* /Location:/ Ceremonial Hall 1, LC building, *Campus WU* /Title:/ *Economics and human motivation: Charles Darwin meets Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant* /Abstract:/ Economic analyses are usually based on the assumption that decision-makers are purely self-interested. However, in many controlled laboratory experiments, this homo oeconomicus model has been shown to be not generally valid. Also introspection suggests that our motivation often is much richer, usually also including other-regarding or moral considerations. Then what kind of preferences should one expect Darwinian evolution to bring forth in spatially structured populations such as those of homo sapiens? In joint theoretical research with Ingela Alger (Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse and Toulouse School of Economics) we argue that evolution leads to what we call /homo moralis/ preferences, a combination of self-interest, in line with Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, and morality in line with Immanuel Kant’s categorical imperative. In subsequent work, also involving biologist Laurent Lehmann (Lausanne) and experimentalist Boris van Leeuwen (Tilburg), we show that a third component may enter, namely, a grain of envy. We call individuals with all three motivational components (self-interest, morality, and envy) /competitive moralists/. Such richer motivations, not before studied, have important implications for economic behavior and economic policy. https://short.wu.ac.at/Economics-and-human-motivation Best regards, Ulrich Berger -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Dr. Ulrich Berger Institute for Analytical Economics WU Vienna, Department of Economics https://www.wu.ac.at/vw5/mitarbeiter/ulrich-berger/

13.12.2019: Kick-off Event: Critical Automobility Studies Lab
by IHS Event 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

[cid:image003.png@01D44F54.60C7EFF0] Workshop Kick-off Event: Critical Automobility Studies Lab Wann: 13.12.2019 10.00 - 12.00 Uhr Wo: Institut für Höhere Studien, Salon Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Wien IHS research group Techno-Science and Societal Transformation<https://www.ihs.ac.at/ru/techno-science-and-societal-transformation/> is happy to announce the start of its Critical Automobility Studies Lab. The lab kicks off with a launching event that offers presentations and discussions as well as networking opportunities for everyone interested in Critical Automobility Studies. Automobility is a hegemonic and enduring sociotechnical setup worth critical attention. To concentrate on a critical approach to automobility is all the more important as new societal challenges related to automobility emerged in the last few years from sustainability of electric vehicles to ethical questions related to the transition to autonomous devices or spatial justice in modern urban environs just to name a few. Automobility, in our view, is a complex construct of technologies, apparatuses, ideologies; an imaginary of and in the present. It is composed of both the material and the representational: of discourses, visions and images, of automobiles and the physical infrastructure of automobility. The keynotes will be held by: * Robert Braun, Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna Title: Automobility nomos and biopolitics * Richard Randell, Webster University, Geneve Title: The imaginary of Automobility * Carlos Lopez-Galviz, Lancaster University Title: The Past Futures of Cities and Mobility: A View from History We would like you to be part of our community. Please join us for this first event of presentations and discussion. Please register via mail at event(a)ihs.ac.at<mailto:event@ihs.ac.at?subject=Registration%20Automobility%20Workshop>.
