2005 AERE Summer Workshop
June 12 - 14, 2005
Grant Teton National Park, Wyoming
The theme of the 2005 AERE Workshop was natural resources at risk. The titles of the sessions provide a flavor of the topics: biodiversity loss, introduced and invasive species, The Endangered Species Act, soil and water conservation, habitat management, management with a resources portfolio and resource options in a world of contingent markets, spatial management, managing private and public related goods and health benefits from risk reduction.
The papers presented at the workshop can be found below.
AERE is extremely grateful for the support provided by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service.
