The Erasmus Center for Health Economics Rotterdam (EsCHER) is pleased to host the tenth Workshop in Behavioral and Experimental Health Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam on 11 and 12 December 2025.
The workshop brings together economists and behavioral scientists who apply behavioral-economics insights and experimental methods to study health-related decision making. The workshop is part of the activities of the Behavioral Experiments in Health Network (BEHnet).
Previous BEHnet workshops took place at the University of Oslo (2014), McMaster University (2015), the University of Cologne (2016), the University of Duisburg-Essen (2016), GSU Atlanta (2017), the University of Oslo (2018), the University of Innsbruck (2020), as a special digital edition hosted by JHU and LSE (2021), the University of Vienna (2023), and HCHE Hamburg (2024).
To the tenth edition in Rotterdam, we welcome contributions on topics related to economic aspects of health-related decision making (e.g., preferences, incentives, institutions) applying experimental methods, be it field, lab or online experiments. We expect to have both long talks (30 min or more plus discussion) and lightening talks (5 min) that will be accompanied by a poster presentation.
The workshop will consist of a keynote lecture delivered by David BradfordOpens external (University of Georgia) and plenary sessions with invited speakers, including a CEAR (Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk) special session on risk. In addition, we will organize a poster session with 5 minutes ‘blitz presentations’ in the plenum, followed by an additional hour for a more informal exchange with the presenters.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit either the full paper, or an extended abstract of up to 500 words that addresses each of the following: objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Preference will be given to full-paper submissions, particularly for long talks.
Deadline for submissions is 30 August 2025. Submissions should be uploaded via the online submission form below. Authors will be notified regarding the acceptance of their paper by 15 October 2025. The workshop is taking place on the Woudestein campus of Erasmus University Rotterdam.
There are no additional participation fees for participants with accepted presentations or posters. Accompanying persons and other interested parties should contact the event office regarding the costs. Participation is subject to availability.
