AERE@OSWEET
the Online Summer Workshop in Environment, Energy, and Transportation (Economics)

What?     One Friday each month, we will host an online seminar series with three short presentations (15 minutes each)—followed by a happy (half) hour!

Papers and videos will not be circulated.

Who?     For presenters, we’re targeting graduate students, postdocs, and early-career assistant professors.
We may adjust selection based upon supply.

There will be no discussants, but we will provide a time for questions after each paper. We will try and cluster papers by topic.

The organizers of AERE@OSWEET include Max Auffhammer (UC Berkeley); Ariel Ortiz-Bobea (Cornell); Ed Rubin (Oregon); Katherine Wagner (UBC).

When?     Friday; see schedule below.

Where?         Zoom. We will send out a Zoom link to presenters and audience members.
Register to receive emails here.

More?         This workshop is a supportive and constructive environment to present research (but you still have to bring your own beer/coffee/snacks to happy hour).

Interested? Please join the mailing list and/or apply to present! (And tell your friends.)
