That’s a wrap on our 22nd Occasional Workshop in Environmental & Resource Economics!

With over 150 participants and 30 talks ranging from 5 minutes to 2 hours, we loved welcoming both new and familiar faces for a full two days of sharing and discussing cutting-edge research.

See you all next time!
