Zeuthen Workshop on Child Health and Public Policy

This year’s Zeuthen lecturer at the University of Copenhagen is Professor Janet Currie (Princeton University). Professor Currie will give three lectures on “Economics of Children” on 2-4 May 2023. In connection with the Zeuthen lectures, Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) at the University of Copenhagen is organizing this workshop on “Child Health and Public Policy” on 3-4 May 2023.

While the workshop takes place on 3-4 May, we encourage participants to arrive on May 2 and attend the first lecture by Professor Currie in the afternoon. Participation is free of charge and includes registration, lunch, refreshments, and a workshop dinner.
