Climate Economics Seminars

EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE) is pleased to announce the NCEE Climate Economics Seminar Series. This is a monthly seminar series dedicated to examining various issues related to the economics of climate change. On occasion, the series will include presentations on aspects of climate science that are particularly relevant to economics. Upcoming topics include the intersection of technology and pollution control policy, economy-wide versus sector-based approaches, the health impacts of climate change, and competitiveness and leakage issues.
The purpose of this series is to keep EPA offices and interested outside researchers informed of the latest research on issues critical to designing and modeling policies that address climate change. To this end, presenters will be recognized experts in their field of research. The series will complement other climate seminars hosted by EPA that focus on scientific, legal, and other policy areas.
The series will follow the format of the more general NCEE Seminar Series. In general, each seminar will be 90 minutes in length with the first half dedicated to presentation and the remainder reserved for questions and discussion. On occasion, we may arrange to have several researchers participate in a panel discussion. Invitations will be circulated by Carl Pasurka. If you already receive announcements for the general NCEE seminar series, you will receive notice of the climate economic seminars automatically. If you do not receive these notices, please contact Carl to be added to the circulation list (pasurka.carl@epa.gov).
The series started in January, 2008. If you have further questions, please contact Elizabeth Kopits (kopits.elizabeth@epa.gov).
