From the Walker College Sustainable Business News website:
The Department of Economics and the Center for Economic Research & Policy Analysis (CERPA) at Appalachian State University will host its 4th annual Appalachian Experimental and Environmental Economics Workshop on April 29-30, 2016 at the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum (BRAHM) in Blowing Rock NC.
Participants will explore recent advances and applications of experimental methods—defined broadly to include laboratory, field and survey experiments—in the area of environmental and natural resource policy.

The workshop is arranged to be a catalyst for a special issue at Resource and Energy Economics. Participants are invited to submit a paper for the special issue. Papers will be subject to the standard review process; all submissions will undergo the standard review process and reviewing is based on the standard criteria for quality.
Funding for the event is provided by the the Department of Economics, CERPA, Appalachian Experimental Economics Laboratory, Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics and the Walker College of Business.

We're very excited with folks coming from all over the country. Highlights include day 1 and 2 kickoff talks by Glenn Blomquist (musing on the current practice of benefit-cost analysis) and Jason Shogren (real economic ends through non-monetary means). Todd Cherry gets kudos for doing a great job organizing the workshop. My most important job is to make copies of the program and get the W-9 forms signed.
Among other awesome looking papers, the NRDA passive use value study conducted for Florida will be presented for the first time by Andrew Ropicki (Tim and I are co-authors) and Craig Landry will present our NC coastal erosion joint RP/SP demand paper (and this time I think he has the joint estimation working with a little help from Scott Shonkwiler).
