IAERE Third Annual Conference
The Third Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (IAERE), hosted by the Department of Economics and Management – University of Padova ( 2021 February, 2015) has been successful in attracting a large number of Italian and foreign scholars, with a wide range of research interests. The unprecedented large number of abstracts submitted for the meeting indicates the increasing interest of our community in IAERE conferences. The final program included 56 presentations over 12 parallel sessions, with a good mix of theoretical models and empirical studies. The conference also benefitted of the contributions of Carolyn Fisher (Resources for the Future) and Paul Ekins (University College London), who gave to two excellent keynote speeches on environmental and trade policies and on the perspectives of EU climate and energy initiatives. The meeting ended with a visit to the Padova’s Botanical Garden, the oldest university botanical garden in the world, part of the Unesco World Heritage List, where participants had also the opportunity of enjoying the recently opened Biodiversity Garden. Over the years, IAERE annual meetings have succeeded in offering a forum for highquality discussion on various aspects of environmental and resource economics, and the increasingly large share of young researchers attending the conferences is a source of hope for the future of our Association. So … see you next year in Bologna!
