The Department of Economics and the Center for Economic Research and Policy Analysis at Appalachian State University are in the process of organizing a 1.5 day (Friday afternoon/Saturday) environmental and resource economics workshop. Researchers within driving distance of Boone will present and discuss research papers in the early to mid stages of development. We hope that the day will be highly valuable to both speakers and audience members. Speakers are asked to supply a rough draft paper and present their work in about a 30 minute time slot. The dates of the workshop are April 20, 21, 2012.

Tentative speakers: Calvin Blackwell (CoC), Okmyung Bin (ECU), Jim Casey (W&L), Chris Dumas (UNCW), Garth Heutel (UNCG), Scott Holladay (UT), Stephen Holland (UNCG), Craig Landry (ECU), Jake LaRiviere (UT), Leah Mathews (UNCA), Klaus Moeltner (VT), Jason Murray (USC), Mike Price (UT), Alexander Pfaff (Duke), Pete Schuhmann (UNCW), Roger Von Haefen (NCSU), Christian Vossler (UT)
