The Jameel Institute at Imperial College London and the Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics in Stockholm invite researchers, scholars and policymakers to submit papers for the first 'Workshop on the economics of pandemic preparedness.' This two-day event aims to provide a platform for sharing and discussing current research, ideas, projects and agenda concerning the economic impacts of pandemics, health system resilience to pandemics and human behaviour during pandemics, in an informal, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The workshop hosts representatives from the Jameel Institute including Katharina Hauck, deputy director of the Jameel Institute, alongside Patrick Doohan, a mathematical modeller at the Jameel Institute, as well as keynote speakers Edith Patouillard, health economist at the World Health Organisation and professor Aditya Goenka, chair in economics at the University of Birmingham.
They are joined by students and researchers from various universities including Imperial College London, Stockholm University, University of Oslo, Brunel University London, Ateneo de Manila University and University of Strasbourg, among others.
The workshop encourages submissions of papers on a wide range of topics related to the economics of pandemic preparedness, such as:
1. Economic modelling and analysis of pandemics and their impact on economies
2. Cost-benefit analyses of public health interventions during pandemics
3. Health system resilience and its economic implications
4. Integrated econ-epi models
5. Behavioural aspects of preparedness
6. Lessons learned from past pandemics
