SELE 2013 program
Dear Colleagues:
The fifth annual meeting of the Society for Environmental Law and Economics will be held on 22-23 May 2013, at the Faculty of Law, University of Bar Ilan, Ramat Gan, Israel. The meeting is sponsored by the Faculty of Law, University of Bar Ilan (http://law.biu.ac.il/en/).
We hope to build upon the great success of past meetings, and continue to build a community of environmental scholars interested in working in the intersection of law, economics, and environmental or natural resource issues. This year, we hope to put further emphasis on the interdisciplinary study of problems in environmental regulation and natural resource management. We would welcome both theoretical and empirical papers, as well studies looking at problems at the local and international domains.
In the spirit of collegiality, the meeting will take place in a workshop format, in which all sessions will be plenary. We strongly encourage all attendees to attend all presentations. Our goal is to create a program that includes a variety of disciplinary perspectives, ideally consisting of 20-30 papers over the two-day period.
No funding will be available for travel or lodging expenses, but the Bar Ilan Faculty of Law will provide food and drink during the workshop for the speakers and will host a dinner for the participants on the first day of the conference.
Further information regarding accommodation, the conference program and other logistic matters will be posted on this blog (envlawecon.wordpress.com). Inquiries can also be sent to Prof. Oren Perez (at Oren.Perez@biu.ac.il).
To submit a paper, please email a Word or PDF file to Oren Perez – Oren.Perez@biu.ac.il – with the subject line “SELE SUBMISSION,” by November 29, 2012. We will review all the papers and get back to you by the end of December.

Welcome to the blog of the Society for Environmental Law and Economics!
Just as environmental problems tend to run across artificial political boundaries, the Society for Environmental Law and Economics (SELE) is, as the name implies, a truly interdisciplinary organization bringing together legal scholars, economists, and interested researchers in other fields to address important environmental issues that inevitably cut across artificial disciplinary boundaries.
SELE includes economists, legal scholars, and other scientists among its members, and we encourage broad participation from all relevant fields of study.
SELE’s core activity centers on its annual meeting, the first of which took place in 2009. Since then a community of environmental scholars interested in working in the intersection of law, economics, and environmental or natural resource issues have developed, and continues to grow with each meeting.
This blog aims to spread SELE’s message of interdisciplinary collegiality throughout the year by providing a forum for discussion and inspiration.
Best regards,
The SELE Board
