The 2nd UAM-UJI Workshop on the Economics of Health and Human Capital will take place in Castellón de la Plana on the 20th of June 2025.

The workshop is jointly organised by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and Universitat Jaume I (UJI) and builds on the successful workshop we hosted in Madrid last year. 

The primary objectives of this workshop are the discussion and dissemination of state-of-the-art econometric, data science and causal inference methods applied to substantive issues in the broad fields of the economics of health and human capital. 

Format 

This is a 1-day workshop consisting of 10 papers. Each accepted paper will be allocated 30 minutes, including: a presentation by the author (20 minutes) and an open discussion with the audience (10 minutes). The number of participants will be limited to around 20.

Abstract submission 

We welcome submissions covering a wide range of topics related to health and human capital, including but not limited to the interactions between health, education and the labour market. Submission from early career researchers are particularly encouraged. 

Papers will be selected on the basis of extended abstracts (max 500 words). Each abstract will need to include three main sections: background and motivation, methods, and main results. The deadline for submission of the extended abstract is the 16th of March 2025 (abstracts submitted after the 16th of March will not be considered).
