Curriculum Vitae
Barbara Buchner, Ph.D. in Economics, University of Graz , Masters Degree in Economics within the Economics/Environmental Sciences Joint Program, University of Graz and University of Technology of Graz , is Energy and Environment Analyst at the International Energy Agency (IEA). She joined the IEA in January 2007 to work on climate and energy policy issues in the Energy Efficiency and Environment Division of the Long-term Co-operation and Policy Analysis Office. Before, she was working as a Senior Researcher at the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), where she was involved in a number of activities related to FEEM's Climate Change Policy and Modelling Unit in the field of environmental economics.
In particular, she is working on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Kyoto Protocol mechanisms and of other policy approaches to greenhouse gas mitigation, trying to identify the incentives that are caused by different strategies in climate and energy policy. In this context, one of her areas of work concerns the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. Special attention is given to the ancillary benefits of abatement measures and to effects concerning technical change induced by various policies. In addition, she analyses the role of carbon finance in triggering investments in carbon-friendly technologies, giving particular attention to strategies to improve energy efficiency .
Her main activities and responsibilities have so far included: research in the economics and policy of climate change, project management and development, organization and coordination of international workshops, participation in and presentations at international conferences and workshops.
Dr. Anne-Sophie CREPIN
The Beijer International Institute of Ecological Economics
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Stockholm, Sweden
E-mail: asc@beijer.kva.seAnne-Sophie Crépin is a research associate at the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, Stockholm, Sweden. She is also part of the recently created Stockholm Resilience Center.
She is an environmental and resource economist focusing on resources and services that stem from ecosystems with complex dynamics due for example to multiple species, fast and slow variables, and threshold effects. Most of her work is based on small theoretical dynamic models that combine relevant economic factors with complex ecosystem dynamics. Recent work focus on common property management of resources with threshold effects like grasslands, management of resources with threshold effects and a stochastic driver using a combination of fast controls like pesticides and biodiversity, or management of fisheries in coral reef with fast and slow dynamics. She often works in tight collaboration with scientists from other disciplines like ecologists and she participated in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
Anne-Sophie Crépin is also involved in teaching a graduate course in environmental and resource economics at the PhD program of the economics department at Stockholm University and she has given many undergraduate lectures in environmental and resource economics at Stockholm University . Besides her teaching she is also involved in consultancy work for example for Sida, the Swedish international development cooperation agency. She was awarded t he Arnberg Prize 2003 from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for her PhD-thesis.

Till Requate, who was born in Bielefeld , Germany and educated in Bielefeld, is a professor of Economics at the Christian-Albrechts-University at Kiel , Germany , since 2002. His field of teaching and research is environmental and resource economics, microeconomics, competition policy, economics of innovation, and new institutional economics. Before coming to Kiel , Till Requate was an assistant professor at the University of Bielefeld (1990-1995), an associate professor at university of Oldenburg (1995-1996), and a full professor for economics at the University of Heidelberg (1996-2002). At the University of Heidelberg Requate was also the director of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Environmental Economics and was the Chairman of the joint graduate programme “Environmental and Resource Economics” of the Universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim from 1998-2002.
A major focus of his research is long-term incentives of environmental policy instruments on R&D and the adoption of advanced abatement technology. Requate was the winner the Eric-Kempe prize (together with Dr. Wolfram Unold) in 2004. In the awarded paper, published in the European Economic Review, Requate and Unold present a new view on the incentives provided by environmental policy instruments to adopt advanced abatement technology by using methods of equilibrium theory, which contrasts from earlier contributions. A second focus of Requate is experimental economics, where he performs experiments on exploitation of common-pool resources, environmental regulation, and fair sharing of resources. Requate published in all major international journals of environmental and resource economics, in particular in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Environmental and Resource Economics, Resource and Energy Economics, Ecological Economics, and the Journal of Public Economics. Requate serves as an associate Editor of the European Economics Review and is on the editorial boards of Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Resource and Energy Economics and Global Environmental Issues.

E-mail: matti.vainio@echa.europa.euDr. Matti Vainio is the Deputy Head of Energy and Environment Unit in the European Commission‘s Environment Directorate General. Until mid 2007 he was responsible for integrating environmental issues to energy policies and energy concerns to environmental policies in particular in the areas of climate change and air pollution. He was deeply involved in the preparation of the Commission's climate and energy package in early 2007 that lead to the adoption of European heads of state of having a mandatory target of 20% reduction of greenhouse gases up to 2020 vs 1990, as well as having a binding target of 20% of renewable energy in 2020. He also assisted the Commission's High Level Group on Competitiveness, Energy and Environment.
He has also been is responsible for the economic analysis of all aspects of European legislation related to air pollution, noise emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from transport sector. He directed the development of the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution and carried out the economic analysis underpinning the directive of EU-wide emission trading in greenhouse gases. Throughout his career in the Commission he has tried to ensure that the most up-to-date methodologies are applied in the Commission when analysing the costs and benefits of EU-wide environmental legislation. This has implied close collaboration European environmental economists both in academic and legal fora.
From mid 2007 Matti Vainio has been seconded from the Commission to set up the European Chemicals Agency. One if his main tasks will be to ensure that socio-economic analysis of chemical substances will be carried out according to the requirements of the REACH regulation.
