This interdisciplinary workshop brings together researchers from economics, human geography and remote sensing around a common research object, namely forests around the world with a special focus on developing countries. The workshop combines standard presentations with open slots to foster discussions on the drivers of forest cover change. From the global to the micro scale, the workshop emphasizes the importance of measurement and the complexity of human behavior in relation to the environment. The workshop will put public policy in the spotlight by, among other things, discussing their effectiveness in reducing forest cover loss, by shedding light on potential spatial or temporal spillovers, or by questioning the appropriate scale and duration of public intervention.
Keynote speakers:
The Opening Economics Chair, the CEPREMAP, the EcoSocio department of INRAE and CNRS have made this event possible. It is also tied to the SCANDI project of the EXPLOR’AE programme and integrates the final event of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche-funded project PALMEXPAND (ANR-20-CE03-0004). It has also received support from Ecoles Universitaires de Recherche – Paris Graduate School of Economics, under the French government subsidy managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (reference ANR-17-EURE-00).
The Opening Economics Chair allows economists to respond in creative and effective ways to the major questions of our times, by integrating two observations: that current challenges, complex and multifaceted as they are, demand an approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and that economics research must be renewed by advances made in other related disciplines.
