Welcome!
IAERE is glad to announce its Fifteenth Annual Conference, which will be hosted at the Department of Economics, Society, Politics of the University of Urbino Carlo Bo on 18-19 February 2027.
The call for papers is now open and submissions on relevant topics related to Environmental and Resource Economics are warmly invited.
Call for Papers and Extended abstracts
As in previous editions, the Fifteenth IAERE Annual Conference supports a balanced interest on both theoretical and applied research, with a marked interest in policy implications.
The attendance of PhD students and early-career researchers is more than welcome.
Submitted contributions are expected to be work in progress, at a reasonably advanced stage but still unpublished. Only English .pdf files are accepted. All submissions will undergo the regular peer review process. Each author can submit a maximum of two co-authored works (and/or only one single-authored paper). In any case, each conference participant can present only one paper. The notification of submission acceptance for all types of session will be given by 15 November 2026.
IAERE Young Environmental Economist Award
During the Conference, the Association is granting its IAERE Young Environmental Economist Award, a recognition given to the two best papers presented by young economists at the Association’s Annual Conference. The Award aims to reward new ideas addressing key environmental and resource economic issues at the national, European and global scale. Both theoretical and empirical papers will be considered without any restriction of topics. Eligible candidates should be less than 33 years of age and no more than five years past a PhD defence should they have a PhD. Only full papers submissions will be considered: submitters of extended abstracts are not eligible for this award. Priority will be given to papers written by single author or multiple authors complying with the age requirement. There are two monetary rewards of €1,000 for the presenters of the two best papers. The Selection Committee includes the Conference Programme Committee and the IAERE Council, so it is co-chaired by the IAERE President and the chair of the Conference Programme Committee. All eligible presenters can submit their application to the Award at the paper submission process.
