Call
for Papers: Health.
Happiness. Inequality. Modelling
the Pathways between Income Inequality and Health. Darmstadt,
Germany, 4-6 June 2010
The
purpose of this conference is to analyse the relationship between income
inequalities and health. It is widely accepted that interpersonal comparisons
and relative deprivation are closely related to an individual’s life
satisfaction. However, economists have been reluctant to accept claims brought
forward in other disciplines that economic inequalities as such have a direct
impact on individual health. The conference aims at bringing these two
perspectives together and shed some light on how economic modelling can
contribute to our understanding of the interplay between income inequalities,
life satisfaction, and health. Papers on relevant topics in Microsoft Word or
pdf format should be sent before January 31, 2010 to the following
address:
Martin
Karlsson, karlsson@vwl.tu-darmstadt.de
Chair
of Applied Econometrics, TU Darmstadt.
Contributions
from young researchers are encouraged. Submitted papers should include the
following information: Title of the paper;Name(s)
of author(s) and institutional affiliation; Mailing
address and e-mail of the presenter; Key

papers will be assessed and selected by the scientific committee of the
conference. Acceptance of papers will be mailed to authors by March 1, 2010.
There is no registration fee for the conference. Selected participants will be
provided free lodging in the city of Darmstadt.
