Call for Abstracts - Seventh ATHEA Conference “Looking beyond borders: Global Health Economics”
by Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

[cid:image001.png@01D8F8DB.CE59D670] Call for Abstracts Seventh ATHEA Conference for Health Economics “Looking beyond borders: Global Health Economics” Vienna, February 23rd and 24th 2023 In most European countries with their highly developed healthcare systems and ageing populations, communicable diseases were of little concern for public health, authorities and researchers compared to their non-communicable counterparts. This changed with the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an impact on societies and health systems world-wide and demonstrated most vividly that health systems do not exist independently of each other. As this year’s general conference theme, we therefore aim to have a look beyond the borders of Europe and see what health economics can contribute to these countries. In order to gain a better understanding of the field, we will organise a thematic stream and invite experts as keynote speakers: Janina Steinert is Professor of Global Health at the Technical University of Munich’s School of Governance and Research Associate at the University of Oxford Marc Suhrcke is Professor of Global Health Economics at the University of York and Senior Researcher at the Luxembourg Institute for Socio-Economic Research (tbc) 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): December 20, 2022 to conference(a)athea.at<mailto:conference@athea.at> Notification abstract acceptance: January 20, 2023 Conference venue: Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS), Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Conference languages: English, German Conference fee on site: 95€ ___________________________________________ 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>

CEU Seminar on Wed 11/16: Masha Titova (Vanderbilt)
by Timea Laura Molnar 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Dear all, we invite you to the next CEU public seminar, held in-person, by Masha Titova (Vanderbilt). Title: "Targeted Advertising in Elections" Time: 2022 November 16, Wednesday, 11.15am-12.30 Venue: 51 Quellenstrasse, 1100, Vienna; room: B-505 Abstract: Some elections are unwinnable for challengers because pivotal voters prefer policies on the opposite sides of the status quo. In this paper, I argue that the challenger can win any such election if he uses targeted advertising with verifiable messages. In his private ads, the challenger makes each voter believe that his policy is a sufficient improvement over the status quo and wins the election when his policy is sufficiently moderate. Targeted advertising makes the voters regret their choices and minimizes the voter welfare relative to the complete information and public advertising benchmarks. As a voter's favorite policy becomes more extreme, her dissatisfaction with the status quo grows, and she becomes persuadable by a wider range of policies. As a result, the challenger's odds of winning increase. Speaker's website: https://maria-titova.com/. For any inquiries, please contact the economics seminar organizer at CEU, Timea L. Molnar, at molnartl(a)ceu.edu.

AGENDA ONLINE, REGISTRATION OPEN: Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2022 on “Population and Climate Change: The Defining Relationship of the 21st Century”, 30 Nov. to 2 Dec. 2022, Vienna
by Schmutz, Petra 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We are happy to announce that the programme of the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2021 on “Population and Climate Change: The Defining Relationship of the 21st Century”, taking place in hybrid format from 30 November to 2 December is available online and registration is open. Please find all inform on the conference website<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/calendar/conferences/wic-2022-population-…>. Climate change is a defining feature of life on Earth today. Efforts to both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of rising global temperatures are urgently required. Human populations are at the centre of these processes. The close reciprocal relationships between population and climate change makes demography a highly relevant discipline in providing evidence-based policy solutions to building sustainable and resilient societies. Therefore the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2022 aims to bring together researchers from around the world, focusing on demography and climate change from diverse perspectives. Among all talks and posters to be presented, we want to highlight the keynotes by * Kristie L. Ebi, The Center for Health and the Global Environment (CHanGE), University of Washington * Leiwen Jiang, Population Council and Asian Demographic Research Institute and * Kathryn Grace, Minnesota Population Center, University of Minnesota Kindly spread the information within your networks. Please apologies for any cross postings. We are looking forward to welcoming you at the WIC Conference 2022 online or onsite. With best regards, The organising team -------------------------------------------------- Vienna Institute of Demography (OeAW), Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital (IIASA, OeAW, University of Vienna) Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Wien, Österreich | Vienna, Austria conference.VID(a)oeaw.ac.at<mailto:conference.VID@oeaw.ac.at> www.oeaw.ac.at/vid<http://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid> www.wittgensteincentre.org follow us on Twitter @WiCVienna<https://twitter.com/WiCVienna> and @demografie_wien<https://twitter.com/demografie_wien> follow us on YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/c/ViennaInstituteofDemography>

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Alex Ezeh Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University The Place of Demography in Global Development Discourse in the 21st Century Monday, November 21st 2022, 15:00-16:00 (CET) Please register for the presentation until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CET): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration Login information will be sent to registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract Throughout much of the 2nd half of the 20th Century, demographic concerns were at the core of most discourses on global development. It formed a critical component of the priorities of multilateral and bilateral agencies as well as private foundations. The focus was centered around rapid population growth in poorer countries and support for family planning programs accounted for at least three-quarters of the total support for population-related activities. Demographic tools and methods were applied to understand the complex relationships between population change and development outcomes. By the end of the 20th Century, however, the relevance of demography to global development had virtually disappeared. Yet, today, population change ranks alongside climate crisis and growing inequality as existential threats to our current civilization. In this lecture, I offer some thoughts on what happened to demography and why it remains key to improvements in human wellbeing in both rich and poor countries. About the presenter: Dr. Ezeh is Dornsife Professor of Global Health at the Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University. His work focuses on urban health, population change, and models to strengthen knowledge-based institutions. Previously, he served as the founding Executive Director of the African Population and Health Research Center and he initiated and directed the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa. He serves on numerous international and non-profit boards, including the UN High-Level Advisory Board for Economic and Social Affairs, and currently co-chairs a new Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing.
