Urban Economics in Hawaii in December 2011
Which sub-field of economics throws the best conferences? My new vote is for "urban economics".
ADB Workshop on Urbanization in Asia
Honolulu Hawaii, December 14-15, 2011
Call for Papers
The Asian Development Bank (ADB), in collaboration with the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, invites submissions of substantial abstracts, or preferably completed but unpublished papers that focus on urbanization in developing Asia. Both research and policy oriented papers are welcome provided that findings, conclusions and policy recommendations are based on solid evidence. Manuscripts can focus on Asia as a whole, group of countries or individual economies, preferably from the developing Asia-Pacific region.
ADB will meet the travel and accommodation costs of one author per paper. Accepted papers will be considered for a special issue of a leading academic journal and/or a book volume.
Papers can deal with but are not limited to the following topics:
- Determinants and impacts (on growth, environment, inequality/poverty…) of urbanization;
- Assessment of urbanization strategies and policies (successes and failures)
- The role of government in urbanization including financing for infrastructure and public services
- Urban-rural disparity, migration and remittances
- Major challenges (pollution, congestion, slums…) and possible solutions
- Employment, housing and land market issues
- Comparative study on urbanization issues in Asia and other regions
Jan Brueckner, Edward Glaeser, Matthew Kahn, John Quigley and Anthony Venables are among the prominent economists who have joined the project team.
Important dates
Deadline for submission of substantial Abstracts September 16, 2011
Deadline for submission of complete paper(s) October 21, 2011
Decisions on submissions November 1, 2011
Completed papers or substantial abstracts should be emailed to urbanpaper@adb.org
