Micro-Level Analysis of Well-Being in Central Asia
Del 01/08/2011 al 30/09/2011; Berlin (Alemania).
Micro-Level Analysis of Well-Being in Central Asia
10-11 May 2012, Berlin

The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) invites
submissions for an international research conference on the micro-level
analysis of well-being in Central Asia on 10-11 May 2012 in Berlin,
Germany. The transition from a planned to a market economy has had
dramatic consequences in all post-Soviet republics but especially so in
Central Asia. Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we
wish to examine the well-being of individuals and households in these
countries.

We aim at bringing together researchers from several disciplines,
especially economics, sociology, geography, and anthropology, in this
conference. We do not impose any specific definition of well-being but
welcome papers using different concepts. All papers should have an
empirical focus and use quantitative or qualitative data at the micro
level. A nonexhaustive list of research topics includes:

* Trends in poverty and inequality
* Effects of migration on well-being
* Human capital and labour market developments
* Household coping strategies in transition
situations and their effects on well-being
* Relevance of social networks for well-being
* Political transition and its effects on well-being
* Conflict and well-being
* Religion and well-being
* Measurement of well-being (for example, objective vs. subjective measures)

Other papers of relevance to the micro-level analysis of well-being in
the region are also welcome.

We are delighted that the keynote lecture will be delivered by Nauro
Campos (Brunel University, UK).

Please send a one-page abstract and a short CV as pdf files to
centralasia@diw.de and indicate "Central Asia 2012" in the subject
heading. The submission deadline is 30 September 2011. Notification of
acceptance will be sent out by the beginning of November 2011. The
deadline for full paper submission is 31 March 2012. Submitted papers
may be considered for publication in peer-reviewed journals (e.g. in a
special issue). Further information on the conference will be placed at
http://www.diw.de/centralasia.

Submissions should be in English, which is also the conference language.
Funding for travel and accommodation may be available for researchers
who are either early in their careers and/or currently live in Central
Asia. If you wish to obtain financial support, please indicate this with
your abstract submission.
