The Italian Association of Environmental and Resource Economists organises a School series aiming at providing advanced training for young international scholars on issues of environmental and resource economics.
The 5th IAERE School will be organized by IAERE and SEEDS with the support of FEEM. It will focus on issues related to the circular economy transition, under a law and economics perspective. It will take place in the premises of the Department of Economics and Management, in Ferrara, from the 1st to the 3rd of December, 2021. The School will be held in a “blended” way, with scholars and part of the Faculty being present in person.

OBJECTIVES
The circular economy transition is a hot issue in current economic policy. Ensuring the correct policy design and implementation requires interdisciplinary knowledge, crossing laws and economics perspectives.
The aims of this year’s school are to:

• draw young scholars’ attention on the rapidly evolving policy and governance of environmental issues, with specific attention towards circular economy and sustainability transition;
• discuss profiles of analysis and approaches which will likely be central in ongoing frontier research work related to the investigated transitions, interpreted through the twin lenses of law and economics.

Students will also have the possibility to take part to meetings with lecturers and, depending on involved numbers, present their ongoing work during the School.

TOPICS

Topics covered will include: circular economy implications of the economics of law enforcement, new legal means to foster the circular economy transition, circular business models, contractual and liability challenges.
