ETH Zurich (CER-ETH and CEPE) and Tilburg University invite you to submit a paper to the SURED conference 2010. 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. The following topics covering dynamic issues of the natural environment are of particular relevance: the transition from quantitative to qualitative growth; welfare, discounting and sustainable development; uncertainty and irreversibilities in resource use and dynamics; economic integration, growth and the environment; theoretical foundations of environmental policy; the Green New Deal; and the natural resource curse. For Ph.D. students there will be the possibility to present their work in regular sessions or in young economist sessions.

The deadline for submission is January 31, 2010. Only papers in English are considered, and they must 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 programme committee, based on expert opinions from external referees. Authors will be notified in March 2010. Accepted speakers will be asked to register within three weeks after notification to be included in the final programme.
