Conference Topic

The aim of the conference is to compile innovative current research from resource, energy and environmental economics and dynamic economic theory. By bringing together leading experts, junior and senior scholars and young researchers in these fields, the conference covers a broad range of aspects regarding the relationship between natural resource use and long-term economic development.

30 years after the publication of the famous symposium issue of the Review of Economic Studies in 1974, which started the neoclassical literature on growth theory and resource economics, the conference seeks to reinforce research efforts to provide adequate solutions for today’s challenges in the field of sustainable development.

We welcome contributions from the fields of:

  • environmental economics
  • resource economics
  • energy economics
  • economic dynamics
  • growth theory

Special emphasis will be given to contributions covering dynamic issues in relation to the natural environment. Special sessions are planned in the fields of:

  • dynamics of resource and energy markets
  • capital accumulation and substitution mechanisms
  • endogenous technical progress, rate and direction of technical change
  • globalisation and resource use
  • normative guidelines for intertemporal resource use
  • political economy of resource and energy markets
