We are writing to invite you to submit a paper proposal or to express your interest in attending the workshop “Public Health Interventions in the Long Run: Causes and Consequences”, which will take place on 27th and 28th March 2025 at Wageningen University.

The workshop aims to bring together leading researchers on the topic from various fields, such as economic history, economics, historical political economy, demography or public health history. We welcome submissions on any time period and geographic region.

• The consequences of public health interventions on economic and demographic outcomes.
• The role of institutions and political economy in public spending.
