Sociologický ústav AV ČR, v.v.i.

This is a well established workshop, now in its sixth year, whose subject is both the central theme of the Conference and a major concern within societies affected by the current global financial turmoil. The impact of the reduced availability of credit and continuing adjustments in property prices raise fundamental questions concerning the “drivers” of change in housing markets; the “value” of housing and the dynamics of housing markets in market economies. We would particularly welcome papers, from all disciplines, which address these issues, especially in the context of the transforming economies of former socialist countries. Papers dealing with theoretical and methodological approaches; policy interventions and consumer perspectives are invited, and we would also welcome returning papers which enable a review of progress from previous workshops. This is a highly participative workshop, and all colleagues - at whatever stage of their work - are warmly welcomed to join us.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Richard Turkington or Peter Boelhouwer.
