All our best wishes for a happy new year 2019! In particular, let us hope that our work will be as successful as it deserves and that this year will finally allow progress to be made throughout the world in the implementation of ambitious environmental protection policies.
In 2018 we celebrated the fifth anniversary of FAERE: after the World Conference in Gothenburg, which was attended by many members of the association, the Annual Conference gave us the opportunity to meet again this year in Aix-en-Provence and to welcome more and more colleagues from countries other than France. The year 2019 will be the year of the renewal of the association’s executive committee and bureau, which will take office at the end of the next annual conference, in Rennes on 29 and 30 August. All members who have paid their dues will be able to participate in electronic voting until August 27.
FAERE’s mission is to contribute to the dissemination of research results in the economics of the environment and natural resources. This is the purpose of its Working Papers and Policy Papers series, which provide increased visibility for work from various research centres and universities, large and small. The 2018 inventory shows the success of our authors 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!
Elections
Half of the Steering Committee will be renewed this year following elections, the results of which will be announced at the General Assembly of Members to be held during the next annual conference, on 29-30 August in Rennes:

In accordance with the association’s statutes, the new board will be elected by the members of the new executive committee.
Members who have paid their dues will be able to vote until August 27.
Annual and three-year membership
You can now join for the year 2019, either individually or as an institutional member for your research unit or organization. We remind you that, since last year, it is possible to contribute for a three-year membership at a more advantageous rate:
three-years individual membership for civil years 2019-2021: 140€ instead of 150€
three-years institutional membership for civil years 2019-2021: 2800€ instead of 3000€
Join us!
From one annual conference to another, including the FAERE Thematic Workshops
The 5th Annual FAERE Conference, organized by Charles Figuières and Hubert Stahn for the AMSE, took place in Aix-en-Provence on 30 and 31 August 2018. It welcomed more than 110 participants, including Anastasios Xepapadeas and Christian Gollier who had accepted to give the two plenary conferences. One of the key events of this conference was the organization by Alain Quinet of a round table around the work of the commission he chairs on the necessary updating of the carbon tutelary value. We would like to thank in particular the local organisation team for having succeeded in reconciling friendliness and scientific interest in a dense and exciting programme, in a very pleasant setting under the sun of Provence.
And last November, it was the University of French Guiana that hosted the 10th Thematic Workshop, on the themes “Biodiversity – Energy – Ecological transition”. A very interesting workshop that allowed colleagues from metropolitan France and the neighbouring French West Indies to exchange views with those from French Guiana, as well as with economic and political actors from the local authority. The hot topics of French Guiana’s gold and oil resource development, biodiversity conservation and economic development were at the centre of discussions. The event was superbly organized by the local team and the Rectorate of French Guiana, to whom we extend our warmest thanks.
Finally, the 6th Annual Conference of FAERE will take place in Rennes, on 29-30 August. It will be organized by Marie-Hélène Huber (CREM), Julie Ing (CREM) and Elodie Letort (SMART-LERECO). A call for papers will be issued by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
Election of a new honorary member of FAERE
The FAERE General Assembly meeting in Aix-en-Provence, during the 5th Annual Conference, elected a new honorary member in the person of Robert Cairns, professor in the Department of Economics at McGill University. His research focuses on the economics of natural resources, in particular the economics of non-renewable resources and industrial organization. The main topics of his current work are the economic theory of sustainability and the economics of capital and accounting, including green accounting.
Robert Cairns has maintained close ties with France for many years. He regularly welcomes many FAERE members to Montreal, some of whom are pleased to be among his co-authors.
Both articles are published in our Working Papers series.
Ecological taxation in the foreground of French news at the end of 2018
The increase in fuel prices has given rise in France to large-scale protests and a questioning of the planned trajectory for ecological taxation. This was an opportunity for many economists to take a position on the subject in the press, mainly for educational purposes. You will find on the FAERE website links to the op-ed published by members of the association. Do not hesitate to let us know which ones are not listed in this section.
