ENVECON 2013 15 March, the Royal Society, London
CALL FOR PAPERS
While this call presents some priorities we have identified, the conference is open to all papers demonstrating how environmental economics is applied in practice.
We would like the final agenda to include papers on the TOOLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS:
A. Economic valuation
B. Economic appraisal
C. Economic instruments
Themes A – C can be in any sector so long as they show how these tools are applied in practice. Some ECONOMIC SECTORS have been more of a focus for greening the economy and examples of how environmental economics is used in this process will be interesting. These sectors include the following – however, we will consider papers about other sectors too:
D. Energy and climate change policy
E. Water management
F. Waste management
G. Transportation
H. Agriculture and forestry
I. Marine-based sectors
We also would like papers on some HORIZONTAL THEMES including, but not limited to:
J. Ecosystem services approach
K. Private sector involvement – remodelling business
L. Behavioural economics
• All Papers should display academic rigour and show evidence of practical application. We are interested in showcasing papers that have policy relevance and have been used in decision-making by the public and/or private sectors. Papers do not have to be unique applications of new theory; evidence-based policy benefits from repeated applications.
• Abstracts should cover 2 sides of A4, in 12 point font, double spaced. They should convey information on the economic theory tested; context of the practical application (actual and/or potential); and theoretical and/or empirical results.
• Please ensure that your abstract indicates which theme(s) your paper falls into and the author for correspondence.
• Please submit your abstract by the 3rd December 2012 to [email protected].
• Papers for presentation will be selected by the Scientific Committee comprising of academic and consultancy experts. Last year's Committee included Dr. Giles Atkinson, London School of Economics; Prof. Ian Bateman, University of East Anglia; Dr Diane Burgess, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Northern Ireland; Dr. Mike Christie, University of Aberystwyth; Prof. Paul Ekins, University College London; Dr. Susana Mourato, London School of Economics; Ece Ozdemiroglu, eftec, Prof. Kerry Turner, University of East Anglia, and Prof Ken Willis, University of Newcastle.
• Selected papers will be presented in parallel sessions.
• Those whose abstracts accepted should submit their full papers and register to attend the conference by 28th February 2013 in order for their paper to be included in the final program.
Please circulate this call to all potentially interested colleagues in research, government and consultancy.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event next year to join us and this time we hope to make envecon even more interesting and productive.
