CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics 2022
Online
Scientific Organizer: Professor Maximilian Auffhammer.
The scope of relevant topics for this conference is broad, ranging from climate mitigation and adaptation to the study of energy and resource markets as well as environmental market failures more broadly. The aim of the Energy and Climate Economics Area is to bring leading researchers from both sides of the Atlantic together to facilitate and discuss new and innovative theoretical and empirical research.
The keynote speech "On Valuing Climate Damages and the Social Cost of Carbon" was delivered by Maureen Cropper (University of Maryland, and Resources for the Future).
