EEPSEA is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for the 2013 competition. Researchers from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are invited to submit proposals.
EEPSEA was established in May 1993 to support training and research in environmental and natural resource economics. Its goal is to strengthen local capacity in the economic analysis of environmental problems so that researchers can provide sound advice to policymakers. Each year, it calls for proposals on environmental economics research from researchers in Southeast Asia and China.
The theme of EEPSEA’s research program is the internalization of external costs. There is widespread interest in minimizing pollution and resource degradation by insuring that economic agents face the full cost of their activities. Research topics that apply the tools of economics in the analysis of policy-relevant environmental challenges are invited from EEPSEA member countries.
EEPSEA accepts research proposals on priority national environmental problems. In addition, it encourages research proposals dealing with economics of climate risk management; ecosystem services valuation; and application of behavioral and institutional economics in the analysis of environmental problems. Research proposals should incorporate analysis of the gender dimension of the environmental crisis/problem.
