The Centre for Health Economics Aphec is organizing the 2nd APHEC Workshop which will be held at the Department of Economics, University of Genoa, September 10-11, 2021.
This year the workshop will be focussed on aging-related issues. Indeed, over the last decades, the simultaneous decrease in mortality and fertility rates has produced a progressive aging in most industrialized countries.
The workshop will focus on ageing and chronicity, with a focus to specific themes such as:
- equity, innovation and sustainability of health and social care expenditure;
- chronical diseases and new forms of care; iii. long term care finance; iv. adoption of risky behaviours among elderly.
In this environment, economic analysis plays a crucial role in supporting decision makers by providing insights and informative tools for the definition of new governance models and more equitable and efficient resources’ allocations. Our objective is to cover a broad spectrum of approaches to aging process, including theoretical, empirical, and experimental research.
