CIES represented at EEA-ESEM Conference

CIES’ Research assistants Martina Bozzola and Chiara Ravetti presented their research at the EEA-ESEM 2014 annual meeting in Toulouse, France, which took place August 25-29. Chiara presented her work on “Trade policy, emissions and heterogeneous firms”, a theoretical model of how asymmetric countries can use unilateral trade policy to influence emission, both at the global and local level, by operating a selection on heterogeneous firms with different polluting technologies.

Martina presented her work on “Adaptation to climate change: farmers’ risk preferences and the role of irrigation”, where she investigates how individual producers optimise input usage, in particular irrigation water, taking into account their risk preferences. The empirical application relies on a 20-year research panel of Italian farms. This research is in the framework of the project FoodSecure, which is funded by the European Commission.
