The Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) is pleased to announce its 14th ZEW Summer Workshop in October 2012. This year's focus is on Trade and the Environment. The ZEW Summer Workshop provides a forum for discussion between up-and-coming researchers and established experts in their field of research. The programme comprises lectures by experienced researchers and presentations by young scholars. The workshop is open to about 15 advanced PhD students at the final stage of their doctoral thesis and postdocs within three years after completion of their thesis. We encourage the submission of theoretical and empirical papers. Please submit your paper and a curriculum vitae to summerworkshop2012@zew.de no later than August 24, 2012. At the end of the workshop, the presenter of the best paper at the ZEW Summer Woshop will be honoured with the Heinz König Young Scholar Award. This year's award is sponsored by the Günter J. and Christa Grochla Stiftung.

Lecturers

  • M. Scott Taylor (University of Calgary, Canada, and National Bureau of Economic Research, USA)
  • Brian R. Copeland (University of British Columbia, Canada)
  • Andreas Löschel (ZEW and University of Heidelberg, Germany)

Papers could, for example, address topics such as

  • International trade and industrial pollution
  • Pollution haven models
  • Environmental regulation and competitiveness
  • Carbon leakage and border tax adjustments

During the summer workshop, the scholar younger than 35 years of age presenting the best paper will be honoured with the Heinz König Young Scholar Award. The award is sponsored by the Günter J. and Christa Grochla Stiftung. It includes an endowment of 5,000 EUR and a three-month research visit to ZEW. An award ceremony will conclude the workshop. The prize is named after the late founding director of ZEW, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Heinz König.
