Location Choices and Environmental Economics
The July 7, 2017
Workshop description
The aim of this workshop is to discuss how the location choice of households and firms (domestic and multinational) affects the environment and vice-versa. Papers on pollution havens, green clusters, compact cities, regional energy transition, natural disasters and their consequences on the spatial economy are welcomed. Beyond those topics, the workshop should serve as a platform to address more broadly the different relationships between environmental policies and the geography of the economy.
