Belgian Environmental Economics Day - BEED 2010
January 29, 2010, CES K.U.Leuven
CALL FOR PAPERS

Aim

The Belgian Environmental Economics Day 2010 offers an opportunity to researchers in the areas of environmental, resource and ecological economics from universities, university colleges or research institutes in Belgium, to present their work. It is an academic meeting open to all interested stakeholders (academics, public servants, consultants, students, ...). BEED aims also at making the scientific discipline of environment economics more visible in Belgium. It can be seen as an intermediate platform between individual researchers and traditional international professional associations (European Associations of Environmental and Resource Economists EAERE, International Society of Ecological Economics ISEE...).

Format

BEED is a one-day scientific meeting held at an easily accessible location in Belgium.
Researchers are invited to submit recent research papers. Out of the submissions, the program committee selects a number of papers to be presented during the BEED in plenary sessions of 40 minutes (30 minutes of presentation plus 10 minutes of discussion). The working language is English for presentations and discussions but papers can be submitted in English, Dutch or French. Speakers are requested to put the emphasis on economic interpretation instead of technicalissues.

Themes

Environmental policy instruments, enforcement, valuation, green accounting, waste management, climate change, natural resources, environment and the firm, ecological-economic modeling, (non exhaustive list).

Organizing committee

Thierry Bréchet (UCL-CORE, Chair Lhoist Berghmans), Johan Eyckmans (HUBrussel and
