At the University of Birmingham we recently held a workshop on Environmental and Natural Resource Economics for some of the best PhD students in the UK studying environmental economic issues.
I always learn a lot from hearing papers in different areas. Environmental economics has the habit of being interesting even when the topic is something I know nothing about.
