Call for Applications - 2011 EAERE-FEEM-VIU European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics, July 3-9, Venice, Italy
Deadline for applications: February 1st, 2011
The European Association of Environmental
and Resource Economists (EAERE), the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and the
Venice International University (VIU) are pleased to announce their annual
European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics for postgraduate
students.
The 2011 Summer School will take place from the 3rd to
the 9th of July, at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in
Venice, located just in front of St. Mark’s Square. The theme of this Summer
School is Developments in Resource Economics.
The summer
school will be of interest for students who have a thorough understanding of the
classic natural resource theory, and who would like to make their own
contribution in various topics rooted in resource economics.
In the recent
past, resource economics has been strongly advanced in studies related to the
economics of energy, including the pricing of oil, coal and other fossil fuels,
the effect of environmental policies on energy prices, and the economics of
clean energy alternatives.
The lectures will cover several key issues in the field, including:
- strategic relationships in resource markets helping to understand the effect of demand-side policies on supply-side behavior;
- effect of endogenous development of resource-saving and backstop technologies on growth perspectives for resource-dependent economies;
- development of institutions that create new natural resources, such as pollution permits, fish quota, electricity spot markets in countries rich in hydro electricity supply;
- new bioeconomics of fisheries and forests.

substantive chapter, but not to have completely finished their
thesis.
Application is restricted to 2011 EAERE members, both European and
non European citizens. Given the highly interactive activities planned at the
