Summer School EAERE-FEEM-VIU - past editions |
|
Since 2000 the European Association of Environmental and Resources Economists (EAERE), the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), and Venice International University (VIU) have been successfully running their European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics. The broader objective of this series of events is to provide advanced training for young researchers from all over Europe and beyond on European issues of environmental and resource economics.
The European Association of Environmental and Resources Economists (EAERE), the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), and Venice International University (VIU) are pleased to announce their annual European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics for postgraduate students
2016 Summer School EAERE-FEEM-VIU Field Experiments in Environmental and Resource Economics
Venice, June 26th- July 2nd, 2016
The 2016 Summer School will take place from June 26th to July 2nd at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in Venice, located just in front of St. Mark's Square. The topic covered by the 2016 Summer School is the Field Experiments in Environmental and Resource Economics.
Over the past years field experiments have flourished in environmental and resource economics. The 2016 EAERE Summer School aims at discussing the most relevant research about field experimentation, with direct relevance of environmental economics. Key relevant topics will be explored in depth, including preferences, resources and valuation, cooperation, energy and water conservation, development and growth, as well as climate change. Classes will discuss the latest developments in the literature, and students will have the chance to present their own work in front of the class and the faculty.
This School is organised in partnership with the project COBHAM "The role of consumer behaviour and heterogeneity in the integrated assessment of energy and climate policies", a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement n° 336155. The objective of COBHAM - hosted by Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the Euro- Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) - is to study behavior and interactions among individuals and their impact on energy efficiency and climate change mitigation.
Faculty and Lecture Topics:
John LIST (School co-coordinator) University of Chicago Topic: Field experiments in environmental and resource economics
Massimo TAVONI(School co-coordinator) Politecnico di Milano and FEEM Topic: Climate change
Giovanna D'ADDA Politecnico di Milano Topic: Environment and development
Andreas LANGE University of Hamburg Topic: International agreements and cooperation
Michael PRICE Georgia State University Topic: Energy and water

Admission and Scholarships The Summer School is targeted to PhD and postgraduate students. Admission is conditional on the presentation of each student's doctoral work; therefore PhD students who want to apply normally need to be advanced in their PhD to have produced at least one substantive chapter, but not to have necessarily completely finished their thesis. Application is restricted to 2016 EAERE members, both European and non-European citizens. Given the highly interactive activities planned at the Summer School, the number of participants is limited to 20. There is no participation fee. All applicants can apply for a scholarship.

Programme - 2015 Summer School The Summer School is designed to last for 6 days and consists of about 35 contact hours and further several hours of scheduled reading and consultation time. The content of the School is a mixture of lectures, student presentations, consultation and reading sessions. The activities open with a Welcome and Introduction session, in which the Summer School topics are introduced. A general open discussion, where all the lecturers are invited to briefly present their topics, can be organised to facilitate the students to become soon more familiar with the lecturers’ topics.
Each lecturer is expected to give a 3 hours lecture, split into 2 x 1.5 hour sessions. Each student is also expected to make a presentation of about 40 minutes, which include also the time for questions and discussion. Students' papers must be completed and sent to the Summer School Secretariat by the 1st of June, 2015. In order to get prepared to the School, students will receive in advance all the available teaching material and the papers presented by the other participants.
In the reading sessions students can privately take their time to go into what really interest them thoroughly.
During consultation sessions students can privately consult with lecturers. It is up to the students to ask directly to a lecturer for a private meeting. Group consultations can be organised too. Private or group meetings during the consultation time can be held inside the classroom, which remains open until the end of the consultation session, or in any other available space of the VIU Campus such as in the cafeteria, in the beautiful garden surrounding the campus or in the campus' common areas. It is up to the students and lecturers to make the consultation as much formal or informal as they prefer. Also working groups can be organised during the consultation time. We strongly encourage all the students to take most advantage of the consultation time from the very beginning of the School.
EAERE-FEEM-VIU European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics
July 6th - 12th 2014 - Venice, Italy
The European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE), Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and Venice International University (VIU) are pleased to announce their annual European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics for postgraduate students.
The 2014 Summer School will take place from July 6th - 12th, 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 The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change.
There is no doubt that both adaptation and mitigation will be necessary to reduce the impact of anthropogenic global warming on the economy. The objective of the School is to provide tools and methods to understand how economists frame the problem of adaptation to climate change. The lectures will start with an introduction to the theory of adaptation to climate change and will then focus on specific sectors or impacts – tropical cyclones, agriculture, forestry and ecosystems, water. Two final lectures will introduce the use of integrated assessment modeling tools to study optimal adaptation to climate change.
The Summer School is aimed at Ph.D. students that are already writing a thesis on the economics of adaptation to climate change and want to engage into a highly interactive exchange with experts in the field. Students will be asked to present an advanced version of their research work and will receive valuable feedback from fellow students and from the School professors. Students will also be assigned a tutor that will provide individual feedback during consultation time.
