title: Economic modeling of the relationship between insurance, inequality and health.
abstract: In June 2011, the conference entitled 'Insurance. Inequality. Health. Economic modeling of how health insurance systems shape inequalities' took place in Darmstadt, Germany. The participants were researchers from all around the world. Presenters and distinguished invited speakers came together to discuss recent research results on various aspects of the health insurance system. The overarching aim was to clarify to what extent insurance markets, social insurance schemes, socioeconomic inequalities and health interact with each other.
