Home Page > Digital libraries > Cassino 2008 International conference Organized by Objective In the last decade, household debt has been rising, relative to income, in several industrialized countries. At the micro level, household surveys report an increase in the number of families who are unable to save, or who experience some other kind of financial or economic stress. This is sometime related to a decrease in self-reported happiness. This evidence may be at odds with growth in output, which has not decelerated and has actually increased in some countries. Consumption and saving patterns may also be related to changes in the distribution of income, which has been substantial, although with different characteristics across countries. Papers on these or related topics are welcome. Authors are free to submit more than one paper for different sessions. If you wish to organize a session (4 papers on the same topic) please contact the organizing committee. All papers will be distributed through the conference web site. A selection of papers will be published in the conference proceedings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^ Deadlines Paper proposals, including an abstract and JEL codes, should be submitted by email no later than June 30th, 2008.
