43rd Annual AHES Conference

The Australian Health Economics Society (AHES) looks forward to welcoming you to the 43rd Annual AHES conference on the 20th and 21st of September 2022, to be held at the Brisbane Marriott Hotel.

Keynote speakers

AHES is excited to be hosting Professor Christopher Ruhm and Professor Paula Lorgelly for this year's conference.

Professor Christopher J. Ruhm

Christopher J. Ruhm is a Professor of Public Policy & Economics at the University of Virginia, is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Germany. He received his doctorate in economics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1984. During the 1996-97 academic year he served as Senior Economist on President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers. His recent research has focused on the role of government policies in helping parents with young children balance the competing needs of work and family life, and on examining how various aspects of health are produced – including the growth and sources of drug poisoning deaths in the United States.

Professor Paula Lorgelly

Paula Lorgelly is a Professor of Health Economics at the University of Auckland.  She has a joint position between the School of Population Health and the Department of Economics. Paula recently returned to New Zealand after more than two decades overseas, and is inspired by the shift towards biculturalism, the promotion of te reo Māori, and the commitment to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It is also evident that inequalities in access and outcomes have persisted if not worsened, and she looks forward to promoting health economics as a means to redress the balance.
