Energy Policy and Environmental Economics
May 17–18, 2018
The workshop is of primary interest to Northeast scholars involved in research in energy policy and environmental economics. A set of papers will be presented on a variety of topics reflecting the latest advances in energy and environmental economics.
The workshop will feature plenary sessions with papers with individual presentations, a discussant, and audience discussion. In addition, we will include a few short presentations by graduate students, giving an opportunity to sketch out an area of their current research and highlight some central findings.
The conference organizers are Geoffrey Heal (Columbia), Erin Mansur (Dartmouth), Kenneth Gillingham (Yale), Shanjun Li (Cornell) and Joe Aldy (Harvard). This workshop is the latest in a series of occasional Northeast Workshops, most recently held at Yale, Cornell and Dartmouth.
