International research workshop "From values to behaviour: interdisciplinary studies of regional differences in Russia"
The aim of this meeting is to check up the existing empirical evidence about the regional variance of behaviour, values and attitudes of the Russians across different regions, their implications for economic decisions, especially cooperation and competition within- and across the regions, and the determinants of these behavioural patterns (including socio-economic, historical, cultural, religious etc.). We bring the leading researchers from the respective disciplines who are working on these topics, and would be interested in inspirations and discussion of the existing results and new questions to be asked in this connection.
