Supported Events

The interuniversity research centre on Sustainability Environmental Economics and Dynamics Studies (SEEDS) opens invitations to the next annual workshop taking place on 15-17 May, 2024 at the Casa della Cultura e della Memoria located in Marzabotto (Bologna), Italy. 

Call for papers available here

Resource and Energy Economics (REE) and the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) are delighted to announce a call for papers for the first of two REE / JEEM Workshops on Nonmarket Valuation. These workshops will be staged immediately following the Annual Conferences of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists in 2024 and 2025. Selected papers from these workshops will appear in special issues in REE (from the 2024 workshop) and JEEM (from the 2025 workshop).

The first workshop will be held on 5 July 2024 at KU Leuven. The workshop will consist of a pre-conference dinner on 4 July followed by a full day of presentations on 5 July.

Authors are invited to submit empirical and theoretical papers on any topic related to the nonmarket valuation of environmental and natural resources. Papers may cover revealed preference (e.g., hedonics, travel cost, averting behavior), stated preference (e.g., contingent valuation, choice experiments), or benefit transfer applications, along with related topics such as the application of nonmarket valuation methods to natural capital accounting. Abstracts or incomplete papers will not be considered. Submissions from any region of the world are welcome, but those from European researchers or on topics of policy relevance to Europe are particularly encouraged.

Please do not submit identical papers to both the EAERE conference and the REE/JEEM Workshop. There can be overlap (similar topics, similar datasets, even similar models), but at a minimum, the workshop paper should cover something materially different from a paper presented at the conference.

Each paper will be allocated 45 minutes at the workshop, including discussant comments and audience discussion. After the workshop, participants will be asked to submit revised papers to an REE special issue on nonmarket valuation. These papers will be subject to a rigorous but expedited review process for the special issue. Submission fees will be waived.

The Program Committee, consisting of Professors Robert Johnston of Clark University, Roger von Haefen of North Carolina State University, Sandra Rousseau of KU Leuven, and Klaus Moeltner of Virginia Tech, will select roughly eight papers for presentation based on their overall quality and potential impact on the field. Depending on the mix of submissions, the committee anticipates selecting a few themes around which to organize selected papers.

A modest honorarium ($500 US) will be offered to each presenter to partially defray travel and lodging expenses. The deadline for submissions is 15 March 2024. Authors will be notified of acceptance decisions no later than 10 April 2024.

Please submit electronic versions (preferably *.pdf) of your paper and a 2-page vita here. When submitting, authors must acknowledge that their paper is not currently under review at REE, JEEM, or elsewhere.

There will also be a limited capacity for non-presenters to attend the workshop. If you are not planning to submit a paper but would like to attend the workshop, please express your interest using this link. We will let you know in early April if our conference venue is large enough to accommodate your attendance.

Questions about the conference may be sent to jeemconference@gmail.com or directly to members of the Program Committee.

This event is organised with the support of EAERE.

Call for papers deadline: 10 December 2023

The SURED conference will focus on issues of high societal relevance at the research frontier related to economic growth, resource use and innovation in the era of climate change. We particularly invite academic work that contributes to an understanding of emerging issues (e.g., the effect of global shocks on the energy transition, the carbon border adjustment mechanism, or the costs and benefits of accelerating towards net-zero), but all submissions related to environmental economics and dynamics are welcome.

For more information visit the conference website.

Deadline for submissions: 31 January 2024

Beat Hintermann, Joëlle Noailly, Corrado Di Maria, Christa Brunnschweiler & Sjak Smulders

The Climate Area of the Florence School of Regulation is pleased to announce its 9^th Annual Conference on the Economic Assessment of European Climate Policies to take place at the European University Institute in Florence on 27-28 November 2023.

The conference will cover some of the main climate policies at EU, national and subnational levels and will include a keynote speech as well as parallel sessions and plenary speeches focusing on the topics of emissions trading, environmental taxation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

The Conference will be chaired by Simone Borghesi, Director of the FSR Climate, Deputy Rector for International Relationships at the University of Siena and EAERE President-Elect.

Papers submission deadline: 30 September 2023

Shared Perspectives 2023 is a policy workshop that seeks to develop answers to this question. Join our line-up of leading researchers and policy thinkers to:

• Consider the interaction of different economic and political aspects of climate policy;
• Understand the political constraints which need to be taken into account when formulating feasible climate policies;
• Discuss policy instruments that could help unlock the path to the green transition.

The detailed programme will be released on September 1st.

Sumbissions deadline: 30 November 2023

Conference website

The local organiser of the Conference is Fondazione Lombardia per l’Ambiente (FLA).

Official language of the Conference is English.

The Conference aims at connecting leading scientists, researchers, economists, practitioners, business leaders, and policy makers, whose activities are focused on different aspects of climate change, its impacts and related policies.

The Conference is an important interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of science and management of climate change.

Topics of interest include:

1. Research and innovation activities on climate modeling
2. Supporting adaptation through extreme events analysis
3. Climate risk models and impact chains for adaptation
4. Climate adaptation strategies for tourism, industry, infrastructure, water management, and other socio-economic sectors
5. Climate adaptation strategies for “one health”, biodiversity, food, terrestrial and marine ecosystems

The sessions on “Supporting adaptation through extreme events analysis” are organized in collaboration with Associazione Italiana di Scienze dell’Atmosfera e Meteorologia – AISAM.

SCOPE

Climate and weather events (heatwaves, droughts, storms), geopolitical events (economic and armed conflicts), as well as economics shocks (financial breakdown) depict a global context in which crisis overlap and accumulate, which have strong socio-economic impacts and can make climate action more difficult to implement. Meanwhile, achieving carbon neutrality of our society is an unquestionable objective to mitigate climate change and to avoid further worsening of those crisis.

Overall, understanding how net zero emissions can be achieved in the shortest delays, and coping with crisis and their implications at the same time are questions of paramount importance. This long-term perspective suggests identifying synergies and trade-offs between climate change mitigation and adaptation to crisis, elaborating combinations between short run adjustment and long term actions, and defining public policies and private strategies. An additional concern comes from the economic and financial environment, actually characterized by high inflation and remedies that stress the role of national policies, like the Inflation Reduction Act in the US.

This annual edition of the Annual Conference of the Climate Economics Chair will shed lights on these issues, by gathering researchers in economics, finance and econometrics.
