A three-day conference on Cuba's economy starts today in Miami. It's the
16th annual meeting for the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy.

The conference will focus on the current economic and political
situation on the island, where this week Fidel Castro, who is said to be
recovering from intestinal surgery, ceded power to his brother, Raúl.

Academics and other Cuba experts will talk about everything from Cuba's
tourism to the meaning of political exile to what lessons Cuba can learn
from Eastern Europe in a transition.
