Environmental Economics - Institutions, Competition, Rationality

The INFER Annual Conference 2004 "Environmental Economics, Institutions, Competition, Rationality" by the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) in co-operation with the Wupppertal Institute wants to encourage economic research and contact between applied and academic economics.

Interrelations of environmental and economic issues represent most demanding challenges for policy makers and economists. Continuing environmental degradation in industrialised and developing countries and current problems of the world economy underline the demand of integrating issues of economic welfare and the workability of competitive markets.
