Abstract

For the third time, the journal Economie et Statistique / Economics and Statistics and the Collège des Économistes de la Santé, the French learned society in health economics, are working together to promote French Annual Health Economics Conferences (in French, JESF). These yearly events are organised by the French Health Economists Association. After publishing two special issues in 2015 and 2021, respectively associated with the 35th and 41th JESF, Economie et Statistique / Economics and Statistics is publishing a new edition compiling a selection of articles from the 44th JESF held at the University of Lille in December 2022.
