Environmental Economics
The Environmental Economics Research Group aims to provide a platform to share and discuss the latest research contributions on environmental micro and macroeconomics from junior and senior scholars that are relevant to understanding the economics of the most important environmental challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
In a series of sessions organized around specific topics, the Group also aims to provide a forum where academics in environmental economics and environmental policy makers in LAC can interact, sharing ideas, practices and constraints of contemporary real-world environmental policy in the region.
