Warning, self-aggrandizing below.
I'm heading out this weekend to Washington D.C. On Monday and Tuesday, I'll be participating in the Frontiers of Environmental Economics Conference put on by Resources for the Future. I hope to keep a running diary of the happenings--full of my usual charm and wit and inside poop--and will post whenever possible.
For those interested, the program and papers from the conference can be downloaded here.
From the conference web-site:
Alan Krupnick, an RFF senior fellow, notes that these papers present innovative ideas that have the potential to change the orientation of environmental economics - moving this subdiscipline into new frontiers - and ultimately contribute to improving public policy. "The papers chosen for this conference survived an intense international competition," Krupnick said. "We believe they represent some of the most forward-looking and provocative thinking about our field, and we are particularly pleased that several are cross-disciplinary in nature."
PS: If there are any Env-Econ readers in the audience Monday or Tuesday, I fully expect you to start any questions with "Env-Econ.net is my favorite site on the web, so I'm wondering...." If this doesn't happen at least once, I will consider my work here a failure.
