We are writing to invite you to submit a paper or to express your interest in attending a CEPR conference on “The Economics of Longevity and Ageing”, to be held at London Business School from 31July-2 August 2025. The conference is organised by Julian Ashwin (Maastricht University), David Canning (Harvard University) and Johanna Wallenius (Stockholm School of Economics and CEPR), as part of the CEPR RPN “Ageing and Longevity” led by Andrew Scott (Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford and CEPR).
 
We welcome papers on a broad range of topics related to the economics of longevity and ageing - both micro and macro, theoretical and applied.
 
We are particularly interested in:

  • How biological and functional measures of health relate to economic outcomes and interventions to improve healthy life expectancy.
  • Empirical work on the links between health and individual economic outcomes and their macroeconomic consequences, especially obesity.
  • Valuing health and how to combine health and economic outcomes to give a welfare measure
  • The role of longevity and ageing on life cycle behaviour
  • How institutions should respond to the challenges of increasing longevity and population ageing.

 
There is potential for papers to be published in a special issue of the Journal of the Economics of Ageing. We are especially keen to support junior researchers.
 
The local organisers will offer funding for travel and accommodation for speakers with accepted papers. If you have alternative funding at your disposal, please indicate this on your reply form. Where funding is provided this will be in accordance with the CEPR Travel Guidelines. We recommend you hold off making any travel arrangements until further information has been given to you. 

Kindly note it will not be possible to accept all applications to attend. At this stage, we would thus like you to simply confirm your interest in attending and indicate whether or not you wish to present a paper.

We are no longer accepting submissions to this event.
