Workshop on Applied Environmental and Health Economics
The Department of Economics of Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (UCSC) and the Social Sciences Area of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) are pleased to announce the 1st Workshop on Applied Environmental and Health Economics – Local Externalities, Inequalities and Policies. The workshop will take place on June 23-24, 2025 at the Catholic University in Rome (Italy). The event is supported by EAERE.
The Workshop
The workshop offers the opportunity to present applied micro papers on topics at the intersection of environment and health, with a focus on the role of local environmental externalities and inequalities, policies and distributional aspects. In addition to serving as a platform for scientific dissemination, the workshop aims to enhance the network among European researchers. By fostering dialogue among scholars working on closelyrelated topics, it seeks to encourage scientific collaborations and generate new research ideas. The event will provide also a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to engage with experts in the field.
