I’m at the Society for Benefit Cost Analysis conference in DC
This is the first in-person SBCA conference since 2019 following a cancelled 2020 conference and online conferences in 2021 and 2022. I organized two sessions on environmental nonmarket valuation and, in my opinion, they turned out great.
The sessions were put together following a “call for papers” on Twitter. Five guys were interested and with my paper that made 2 sessions. I’m hoping to do this again next year but know that a tweet isn’t the best way to try to put a session together (e.g., 3 sessions is better than 2!). If anyone is interested in participating next year or has ideas about how to get the word out, please let me know (I’ll probably risk the wrath of AERE with an email on the RESECON listserv).
Here are the session details:
