Jing Jian Xiao, University of Rhode Island Eunju Ko, Yonsei University May O. Lwin, Nanyang Technological University The Journal of Consumer Affairs (JCA) invites papers for a special issue on consumer well-being in Asia. Consumer well-being refers to safety, fairness, satisfaction, sustainability, emotional positivity, and healthfulness which may be sought through consumer products and services obtained from marketplaces. Consumer well-being can be measured in various dimensions such as economic, financial, physical, psychological, social, and culture. This special issue will focus on consumer issues in fast changing Asia as many important consumer issues in Asia are under-studied in comparison to literature from the West. With Asia having a large, 60% of the world population and Asian countries highly diverse in terms of economic developments, social systems, and cultural traditions, many important issues related to consumer spending, health, and finance need be investigated and studied. Such research will enrich the global literature of consumer affairs and inform public policies to advance consumer interests. JCA, a journal of the American Council on Consumer Interests (ACCI), and consistent with ACCI’s origins in the consumer movement, research published in the journal focuses on protecting consumers’ interests and is addressed from the consumers’ point of view. Researchers in all relevant fields are encouraged to submit their work. Suggested topics within the Asian landscape for the special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
