XVIII EAAE Congress
The EAAE, the European Association of Agricultural Economists organizes a Congress, which normally follows a triennial cycle. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Association, the next Congress will take place in Bonn (Germany) on August 26-29, 2025, just two years after the previous Congress. The event will bring together between 700 and 1000 scientists, experts, stakeholders and policy makers from all over the world to discuss the most topical and pressing issues facing the agri-food sector.
In its plenary sessions, the Bonn 2025 Congress will focus on the generally acknowledged need for food system transformation to achieve global sustainability goals. There will be an emphasis in the plenary sessions on how agricultural economics can assist the agrifood system in rising to the challenges posed by conflicting and competing interests. The contributed paper and poster sessions, as well as organized symposia, will reflect the broader activities of the community.

Conference on Benefit-Cost Analysis: Distributional Issues and International Experience
Deadline for contributions: FEB 15, 2025
The Scientific Council for Cost-Benefit Analysis at France Stratégie is glad to announce the Conference on the topic “Benefit-Cost Analysis: Distributional Issues and International Experience” to be held in Paris (France) on March 25, 2025.
The Conference
Distributional issues are important in the pursuit of a just transition, as highlighted by the IPCC, as well as the Haut Conseil pour le Climat (High Council for Climate) in France. As a matter of fact, many public projects, including public investments, are motivated by a concern for disadvantaged areas or segments of the population. Inequalities in infrastructures between districts and between cities, in connectivity to relevant economic and cultural hubs, in access to public goods and facilities, in vulnerabilities to externalities, and in environmental quality very often undergird public programs related to education, health, security or environmental preservation. Imperatives of social acceptability further justify paying attention to these aspects, and repeated protests in France about environmental regulation (“bonnets rouges”, “gilets jaunes”, farmers) have made it plain to policy-makers.
Nevertheless, in France, benefit-cost analysis, while systematically applied to public investments, usually leaves distributive impacts of the projects out of the quantitative assessment. In many other countries, in contrast, guidelines for the incorporation of distributive impacts into the computation of the net value have existed for some time. In the UK, for instance, the Green Book recommends the transparent use of weights in the aggregation of monetized impacts where distributional effects are significant and well understood. In the European Union, non-binding guidelines propose to use weights that are inversely proportional to a power function of the living standards of the relevant social groups. A particularly important 2023 revision to the guidelines published by the White House in the USA (Circular A4) has introduced the possibility for agencies to also rely on weights, and there is even a specific recommendation for the value of the coefficient that should be used in such weights, based on estimates of diminishing marginal utility.
This conference initiates an effort to improve the integration of distributive effects into benefit-cost analysis in French agencies. This conference will be followed by a revision of the guidelines based on the best practices and sound theoretical and methodological bases. Its conclusions will be a key input in the process leading to the new guidelines.
The incorporation of distributive issues is generally considered difficult not only because of the need to justify the value judgments underlying weights, and the complication implied by weighting not only the benefits but also the costs of the projects, but also because the estimation of impacts for different social groups (by area, age, socio-economic status, income) may be difficult and involve assumptions about behaviors, about adjustments of taxes and transfers to the impacts on households, and about general equilibrium effects through variations in prices and wages at the local level. The conference will cover both aspects of this topic.
Call for Contributions
The Scientific Council for Cost-Benefit Analysis at France Stratégie invites proposals for contributions to its international Conference on distributional impacts and cost-benefit analysis. Submissions in the form of an extended abstract of about 400 words should be sent to jincheng.ni@strategie.gouv.fr before February 15, 2025. Notification of decision will be received by February 22, 2025.

En-Gender Circular Bioeconomy Innovation in the EU – DEI Workshop 2025
The Executive Committee of the EAERE Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative (DEI) is glad to announce an hybrid workshop on the topic of “En-Gender Circular Bioeconomy Innovation in the EU” to be held at University of Ferrara (Santa Lucia Auditorium, via L. Ariosto 35, Ferrara, Italy) on April 9-10, 2025.
About the Workshop
The event is part of a series of workshops organised by the EAERE DEI Executive Committee in collaboration with the University of Ferrara in 2025 and 2026.
This workshop invites scholars, researchers and young researchers to explore the crucial interconnections between bioenergy, eco-innovation, and gender dimensions within the framework of
the European Green Deal and the green transition. As Europe intensifies its efforts to achieve climate neutrality, bioenergy emerges as a key component in decarbonising energy systems, promoting rural development, and supporting a circular economy. This workshop aims to examine how eco-innovations in bioenergy—ranging from advanced biofuels to sustainable biomass production—can advance these objectives while addressing socio-economic, environmental, and gender equity challenges.
Through interdisciplinary discussions, the workshop seeks to identify policy recommendations and strategies to enhance the integration of bioenergy into Europe’s green economy, ensuring that the energy transition benefits all.
Keynote Lectures
The Keynote lectures will be given by Professor Sevilla Almudena, LSE Department of Social Policy, and Professor Pelin Demirel, Imperial College London.
