The main purpose of the Ulvön
Conference on Environmental Economics is to provide a forum for the
dissemination of high quality research in environmental economics. Ulvön is a small, attractive fishing hamlet, located on the
Swedish east-coast, approximately 500 km North of Stockholm. The number of
conference participants is typically about 30. A key purpose of the Ulvön meetings is to provide an opportunity for PhD
students to interact with leading researchers in their field of specialization.

There is a conference fee of 400 EUR, which includes
food, lodging and all transportation to and from the relevant airports (either Örnsköldsvik (OER) or Umeå
(UME)). The times to get on the bus (trip begins in Umeå and then proceeds
southbound to Örnsköldsvik) and the return trip times
are listed at this page
. Students may apply for being
exempted from the fee, if they present a paper. We are constrained by
limitations at the site. If the capacity constraints is exceeded, the organizing
committee will accept papers based on timeliness and quality (both parameters
have positive weights in the decision function, so the earlier the
better). Register here. Provide a title for a suggested
presentation when you register. Abstract deadline is 15 April, 2009. We
encourage electronic submission of manuscripts.
Given the previous proportion of ”no-shows”, the following incentive-program has
been imposed. The conference fee has to be pre-paid. An accepted student paper
translates to a complete rebate of the fee on personal appearance. The
conference fee will be returned under one additional condition, namely that we
find no space for your paper in the program. A student without paper will have
75% of the fee returned. In addition, if your fee is not registered in
our account before
Selected papers will be refereed for a
special issue of Journal of Forest Economics.
