Dear John,Can you please help me share the information below on the upcoming SBCA conference through the Environmental Economics blog? Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information. I am also attaching our conference and workshop flyers for your reference. The conference will feature a number of sessions on environmental issues — please see here for the preliminary program.
The Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis (SBCA) is an international group of practitioners, academics and others who are working to improve the theory and application of the tools of benefit-cost analysis.
Please join us at our Seventh Annual Conference and Meeting: Advancing the Policy Frontier, which will take place at the Marvin Center at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., from March 19-20, 2015. Pre-conference professional development workshops will also take place at the Marvin Center on March 18.
Registration is now open. Conference registration includes all meals (breakfast, break refreshments, lunch, and evening receptions) as well as other activities listed in the program on March 19 and 20.
The conference will feature a keynote address by W. Kip Viscusi of Vanderbilt University, “Pricing Lives for Government and Corporate Risk Decisions.”
