Events

Workshop in Environmental Policy Evaluation, January 20-21, 2023

The Swiss Institute for Empirical Research in Economics at the University of St. Gallen (SEW-HSG) is organizing the first Workshop in Environmental Policy Evaluation. The workshop brings together researchers from all fields (economics, psychology, climate science) who empirically evaluate environmental policy. In particular, research papers dealing with the application and development of innovative, empirical methods and/or with behavioral aspects of environmental policy are invited. The workshop will also include poster sessions.

Keynote Speakers:

  • Hunt Allcott, Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and co-editor of the Journal of Public Economics.
  • Matthew Harding, Professor at the University of California, Irvine.

Programme: Detailled programme of the Workshop

The workshop is officially supported by the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE).
