French Association of Environmental and Resource Economists

Newsletter – September 2016

 

Hello everyone !

As has been the case for three years now, the academic year began with the FAERE Annual Conference, organized this year in Bordeaux. The beginning of the academic year gives us the opportunity to provide you with the latest news of our community.

 

Election of two new honorary members of the Association

The FAERE General Assembly, gathered in Bordeaux, during the 3rd Annual Conference, has elected two new honorary members: Pierre Lasserre, Professor at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal), research fellow of CIRANO, and Gérard Gaudet, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Economics, Université de Montréal.

Together and also independently, they contributed in an exceptional way to progresses in scientific research in Environment and natural resources economics, as well as to the success of our community in France and in Québec.

 

A big thank you to the organizers of our 3rd Annual conference in Bordeaux !

The 3rd FAERE Annual conference welcomed nearly 120 participants on September 8th and 9th in Bordeaux. We thank warmly all the organizers mobilized around Tina Rambolinaza and Bénédicte Rulleau for IRSTEA and Luc Doyen and Jean-Christophe Péreau for GREThA.

Now is the time to submit the papers presented at the conference to the FAERE Series of Working Papers

 

Young Economist Best Paper FAERE Award

During its last plenary meeting, the FAERE CD decided to award each year, during the annual conference, a prize for the best paper written by young economists.

For 2016, the Young Economist best paper FAERE Award has been attributed to Sébastien Desbureaux (CERDI and CIRAD), for his paper entitled “Common Resources Management and the ‘Dark Side’ of Collective Action: an Impact Evaluation for Madagascar’s Forests“. The jury awarded unanimously exemplary work, which opens new perspectives for our community.

The jury included Saraly Andrade de Sa, Johanna Choumert, Julien Daubanes and Philippe Quirion, who evaluated the eligible papers under the supervision of François Salanié and Fabien Prieur.
