A Workshop on Voluntary Approaches to Environmental Protection
University of California, Santa Barbara
April 24-25, 2009*

This is a general call for papers to be included in a workshop on the
economics of voluntary approaches to environmental protection. The
workshop is being organized by Charlie Kolstad and Matthew Kotchen and
will be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara on April
24-25, 2009.

The aim to assemble leading scholars with work relevant to international
agreements, voluntary programs, and voluntary actions as they relate to
environmental management. We intend to draw on a diversity of fields
within economics, including environmental, international, industrial
organization, behavioral, and public economics. We envision both
theoretical and empirical contributions.

The workshop will consist of approximately 12 papers to be presented and
discussed over a two day period. Travel expenses and a modest honorarium
will be provided for all paper presenters. Presented papers will be a
combination of those selected from submissions and those specifically
invited. The submission deadline is January 15, 2009, and decisions
about acceptances will be made no later than February 15, 2009.

Please send paper submissions to Kolstad and Kotchen at the following
e-mail address: envecon_at_bren.ucsb.edu.
