JEEM / REE Workshop on Nonmarket Valuation

The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management - JEEM and Resource and Energy Economics - REE are delighted to announce a call for papers for the second of two joint Workshops on Nonmarket Valuation. Similar to the first workshop in 2024, the second workshop will be staged immediately following the Annual Conference of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists on June 20, 2025 at NHH - Norwegian School of Economics. The workshop will consist of a pre-conference dinner on 19 June followed by a full day of presentations.

 

Call for papers: Authors are invited to submit empirical and theoretical papers on any topic related to the nonmarket valuation of environmental and natural resources. This includes revealed preference (e.g., hedonics, travel cost, averting behavior), stated preference (e.g., contingent valuation, choice experiments), and benefit transfer applications. Abstracts or incomplete papers will not be considered. Submissions from any region of the world are welcome, but those from European researchers or on topics of policy relevance to Europe are strongly encouraged to apply. Authors may submit the same paper that they submit for consideration at the EAERE Conference if they agree to make the two presentations qualitatively different, perhaps by going into greater depth or emphasizing different aspects of the research in each presentation.

 

Each paper will be allocated approximately 45 minutes at the workshop, including discussant comments and audience discussion. After the conference, participants will submit their revised papers to a special issue at JEEM for publication, with submission fees waved. Those papers will be subjected to the same review process as regular JEEM submissions, although that process will be, to the degree possible, expedited.

 

Programme Committee: The Programme Committee, consisting of Professors Roger von Haefen of North Carolina State University, Robert Johnston of Clark University, Linda Nøstbakken of Statistics Norway and NHH - Norwegian School of Economics, and Klaus Moeltner of Virginia Tech, will select 8-10 papers for presentation based on their overall quality and potential impact on the field. Depending on the mix of submissions, the committee anticipates selecting a few themes around which to organize selected papers.

 

Submissions and participation: A modest honorarium ($500 US) will be offered to each presenter to partially defray travel and lodging expenses. The deadline for submissions is 24 March 2025. Authors will be notified of acceptance decisions no later than 11 April 2025.

 

Please submit electronic versions (preferably *.pdf) of your paper and a 2-page vita here. When submitting, authors must acknowledge that their paper is not currently under review at JEEM, REE, or elsewhere.

 

We anticipate having limited capacity for non-presenters to attend the workshop. If you are not planning to submit a paper but would like to attend the workshop, please express your interest here. We will let you know in early April if our conference venue permits us to accommodate your attendance.
