193th EAAE Seminar

The Workshop constitutes an opportunity to bring agro-food and environmental economists together to review the state-of-the-art on valuation methods as well as future challenges. This VII Workshop aims at consolidating the scope adopted in previous editions, with the objective of becoming a forum in which scientists dealing with valuation methods periodically meet to discuss both empirical and methodological questions of different methodologies. Moreover, it aims at opening the door for new editions in the collaborating framework between EAAE and EAERE.

The conference aims at covering the following topics:

• Development, application and theoretical basis for valuation methods in general.
• Incorporating risk and uncertainty in valuation methods.
• Incentive compatible alternatives and experimental economics.
• Methodological issues raised in applications.
• Advantages and disadvantages facing alternative valuation methods.
• Data input, econometric analysis and interpretation stages.

Who is the course intended for?

The VII Workshop on Valuation Methods in Agro-food and Environmental Economics is aimed at scientific audience from different disciplines interested in Valuation Methods both from a methodological and/or empirical point of view, who are member of the EAAE or EAERE at the time of registration for the seminar. For becoming a member, please visit the corresponding websites for EAAE or EAERE.
