9th Atlantic Workshop on Energy and Environmental Economics

1 April 2022By

The Atlantic Workshop on Energy and Environmental Economics (AWEEE) is a biennial scientific meeting, born in 2004, which is organized by Economics for Energy with the collaboration of CEPE (ETH Zurich) and CURE (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) and the support of REDE (Universidade de Vigo) and ECOBAS. The workshop has become an important outlet for the discussion and debate on state-of-the-art research on energy and environmental issues, with a limited number of participants who come from all around the world. The AWEEE combines keynote lectures on specific topics by prestigious academics with the presentation of research by invited speakers and by other participants through an open call for papers.

The AWEEE takes place on the pleasant island of A Toxa, in the Northwestern Spanish area of Galicia. The ninth edition of the workshop, due in 2020 but postponed to 2022 because of COVID, will be in-person and will include keynote lectures by Natalia Fabra (University Carlos III) and Lucas Bretschger (ETH Zürich). Additionally, the 2022 AWEEE will have invited presentations and paper discussions by Stefan Ambec (Toulouse School of Economics), Juan-Pablo Montero (PUC Chile), Barbara Praetorius (HTW Berlin), and Beatriz Yordi (European Commission).

Deadline for paper submissions: 7 May 2022

EAERE 2022 Policy Session – The proposed ETS for buildings and road transport in the EC’s Fit-for-55 package: getting prices right and ensuring equity

29 March 2022By

 

As part of its Fit-for-55 package, the European Commission proposed the strengthening of emission trading and the creation of a separate ETS for buildings and road transport (BRT ETS), combined with a new Social Climate Fund to address its social impacts. While extending carbon pricing to sectors not yet covered is an obvious choice from an economic point of view, it is very contentious politically. Particularly important open questions are (a) how high and volatile the price in the new system will be, and related (b) what the distributional implications between households and Member States will be. The aim of this session is to shed light on these issues drawing on new economic analysis, and based on this to discuss the mechanisms proposed by the EC to stabilize prices and balance distributional impacts. To that end, the session will bring together (national and EU) policy makers and academics, including members of EAERE’s Policy Outreach Committee (POC). More broadly, the session will also reflect on insights for policy outreach.

Panelists

  • Benjamin Görlach (Ecologic Institute)
  • Mirjam Kosch (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)
  • Jan Nill (European Commission)
  • Aldo Ravazzi Douvan (Luiss, Roma Tor Vergata, Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition)
  • Moderation: Simone Borghesi (EAERE and European University Institute)
