Papers are invited at IV Workshop on Social Capital and Health which will be organized at Padova, Italy from 4 to 5 October, 2012. This event will be organized by the University of Padova.
The workshop is open for all these types of contributions basically for contributions which emphasize on an economic approach and contributions which aim at revealing the causal effect of social capital on health. Particularly, if they go beyond reduced form models and try to identify the channels through which social capital influences health (health-related behaviors, social support, psychological support, enhanced circulation of health-relevant information, non opportunistic behaviors between patients and health care providers among others).
Papers for the workshop will be selected on the basis of draft papers or extended abstracts. However, draft papers are preferred; abstracts (minimum 600 words) which describe methods, results and data (if relevant) will also be taken into consideration. The deadline for submitting draft papers or extended abstracts is April 30th 2012.
This also provides unique opportunity of dissemination to offer to participants. A symposium of the Eastern Economic Journal will publish the best papers submitted and accepted to the workshop, to be selected by means of a further regular procedure of peer reviewing. Authors should clearly state in their initial submission whether they wish to be considered for the symposium.
Participants are expected to present a paper or act as a discussant. Limited funding is available to cover the costs of accommodation and meals during the workshop. Participants are responsible to their own travel costs.
Submission deadline: April 30th 2012
