ESDS Government Annual Research Conference
2007
All Consuming:
Consumption research findings from government surveys
Thursday 1 November 2007
British Academy, London
This one-day conference
focuses on research evidence from large-scale government surveys
relating to consumption. Papers cover a range of consumption issues,
including consumption by older consumers and children as well
as the consumption of food, culture and private transport.
The conference will be relevant for
those with an interest in consumption and associated policy areas
such as expenditure, service planning and health. The day seeks
to present research with policy relevance and we particularly
welcome attendance from the policy makers, analysts and senior
academics.
