French Association of Environmental and Resource Economists

Newsletter – February 2018

 

Hello everyone!

 

The year 2018 promises to be as rich as the year 2017 in scientific events that will give us the opportunity to meet again, but which are above all an expression of the vitality of our community. This is also reflected in the publication of our members’ work and their success in international journals.

We hope that the news gathered in this Newsletter will encourage you to visit our website regularly, submit your work to our Working Papers and Policy Papers series, organize or participate in events!

 

Three-years memberships now available

Since the end of 2017, you can join for the year 2018, either as an individual or as an institutional member for your research unit or organization. The big news this year is that it is now possible to contribute for a three-year membership at a lower rate:

  • three-years individual membership for civil years 2018-2020: 140€ instead of 150€
  • three-years institutional membership for civil years 2018-2020: 2800€ instead of 3000€

Join us!

Next FAERE Annual Conference and Thematic  workshops

The 5th FAERE Annual Conference, organised by Charles Figuières and Hubert Stahn for the AMSE, will be held in Aix-en-Provence on 30 and 31 August 2018.  Anastasios Xepapadeas and Christian Gollier will give the plenary lectures. The call for papers will be circulated very soon. Book the dates!.

Before that, GREThA will host the 9th Thematic Workshop in Bordeaux, dedicated to ecosystem resilience, on 3 and 4 April 2018. Submit your paper by February 18 (Call for Papers).

This workshop will thus follow on from the 8th Thematic Workshop, organised by Stefano Bosi and the MSH Paris-Saclay, which took place on 30 November and 1 December 2017 at the ENS Paris-Saclay (Cachan), on the theme “Environment and Health: Economic Outlook”. They were a great success with over 80 participants.
