Policy sessions

Policy sessions aim to advance the application of environmental and resource economics in policy-making and to provide a forum of exchange between policy-makers and academics. Sessions are expected to be of interest to a broad audience of research economists. They will typically be formatted as roundtable discussions. All participants of roundtable discussions have to contribute a short statement to the policy session proposal. No papers are required. The Scientific Committee has selected a limited number of proposed Policy Sessions based on significance and originality.
