Environmental Economic Reading Group
Curious to know what is the ongoing conversation regarding environmental economics?
First, take a look at the NBER​ on Environmental Economics and Transportation; that's frontier stuff. But at UofT, we also meet and present a different paper every week; these papers are meant to initiate Ph.D. students to environmental economics in such a way as it will be utilized to perform research. Here's the list:
