FROM 17 JANUARY TO 25 APRIL 2025
The Environmental and Natural Resource Economics Workshop is supported by the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en analyse des organisations (CIRANO), the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en économie quantitative (CIREQ), the Réseau de recherche en économie circulaire du Québec (RRECQ) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ).
This workshop is intended for researchers and doctoral students in economics who are interested in resource and environmental economics. The types of topics that may be dealt with, at an advanced level, are the economic theory of sustainable growth, green accounting, production constraints in natural resource exploitation, the irreversibility of environmental investment decisions, measures of biodiversity and their implications, the optimal order of extraction of natural resources, intertemporal depletion of spatially distributed non-renewable resources, property rights and natural resource exploitation, applications of differential games to natural resources and environmental economics, international environmental agreements, circular economy, climate policy and other related topics.
The workshop will be led by a team of researchers composed of Geir B. Asheim (Oslo University), Hassan Benchekroun (McGill University), Sophie Bernard (Polytechnique Montréal), Etienne Billette de Villemeur (Université de Lille, UQAM), Robert Cairns (McGill University), Justin Leroux (HEC Montréal), and Charles Séguin (UQAM).
