2023 Monash Environmental Economics Workshop
Now in its seventh year, this workshop is hosted by the Energy, Environment and Resource Economics research group at the Department of Economics at Monash Business School, in collaboration with the Centre for Development Economics and Sustainability (CDES).
MEEW is a research-intensive workshop that welcomes papers on environmental and resource economics, with theoretical, experimental, and empirical papers equally valued.
In line with the workshop’s goals of building and strengthening our environmental economics community, MEEW 2023 will take place face-to-face in Melbourne, from 30 November to 1 December.
Keynote speaker
Professor E. Somanathan, Economics and Planning Unit, Indian Statistical Institute
Prof Somanathan is founding head of a policy-relevant research centre (CECFEE, Centre for research on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy, and Environment) in the Indian Statistical Institute. His research is at the intersection between environmental and development issues, and political economy.
He has studied the evolution of reciprocal behaviour in the management of natural resources using evolutionary game theory. Some of his recent work is on forest management, household air pollution, groundwater depletion, and climate impacts in South Asia.
Prof Somanathan has also served on various committees of the government of India on environmental policy and was a Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC. He is a Co-Editor of the journal Environment and Development Economics published by Cambridge University Press.
Other plenary talks
A panel discussion on the Nature Repair Market with Graeme Samuel (Monash Business School), David Pannell (University of Western Australia), Catherine de Fontenay (Productivity Commission), James Trezise (Biodiversity Council) and moderated by Miki Perkins (The Age) at the end of the first day.
Professor Yoshihisa Kashima, Department of Psychology, Melbourne University
Prof Kashima will present a plenary lecture building on his research into the psychology of cultural dynamics – how psychological processes contribute to the formation, maintenance, and transformation of culture over time, with particular emphasis on the culture of sustainability.
His work has appeared in Science, Nature Climate Change, Psychological Review, Psychological Bulletin, American Psychologist, and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
He was Associate Editor of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the President of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology. Professor Kashima's plenary talk will be held on the second day.
