The Economics of Air Pollution
The FREE Network together with the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) invites academics to join a full day workshop session on the economics of air pollution at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). The workshop will provide presentations of the latest research on the economics of air pollution and will provide an in-depth look at how to conduct research on the topic.
Workshop
The workshop will consist of two elements:
- (1) a session with paper presentations, and
- (2) tutorials from invited experts in the field.
The tutorials will provide an in-depth look at how to conduct research on the topic of air pollution, covering issues related to data collection and data sources, methodology, statistical analysis, and interpretation of results. The workshop will provide presentations of the latest research but also give detailed guidance to economists interested in doing their own research on the topic.
