Call for Papers

ETH Zurich (CER-ETH and CEPE) and the University of Calgary invite you to submit a paper to the SURED conference 2008. We welcome contributions from the following fields:

• environmental economics
• resource economics
• energy economics
• economic dynamics
• growth theory

The conference is open to all interested researchers. Special sessions are planned for papers on economic dynamics related to environmental issues, such as dynamics of resource and energy markets, capital accumulation, substitution mechanisms, and induced technical progress. For Ph.D. students there will be the possibility to present their work in regular sessions or in young economists sessions.

The deadline for submission is January 31, 2008. Only papers in English are considered. They have to be submitted electronically. To submit your paper, please send an email to sured@ethz.ch with your paper attached as a PDF-file. Each submitted paper should indicate the email and physical address of the corresponding author, an abstract, JEL classification and up to five key words. Please underline the name of the presenting author. Ph.D. students who want to be considered for the young economists sessions should indicate so on the cover page of their paper. By submitting a paper, the authors agree that the paper can be made available on the conference website and on the conference CD.

A decision on the acceptance of papers will be made by the organising committee, based on expert opinions from external referees. Authors will be notified in March 2008. Accepted speakers will be asked to register within three weeks after notification to be included in the final programme.
