ECR Workshop Best Paper & Presentation

Best Paper and Presentation Prize

Initiated in 2020, the individual with the best paper and presentation at the CREEA Early Career Researcher Workshop receives a copy of Natural Resource Economics by Jon M. Conrad and Daniel Rondeau, published by Cambridge University Press.

Jon M. Conrad and Daniel Rondeau’s Natural Resource Economics provides a foundation for advanced research by presenting required mathematical methods, classic dynamic models for non-renewable and renewable resources, and exploring several contemporary problems. This textbook encourages students to pursue a deeper understanding of the analytics of resource problems and to deploy numerical methods when analytical results prove intractable. 

The combination of analysis, theory and applications will launch the next generation of resource economists, while serving as a useful reference for established researchers.

Find out more about Natural Resource Economics at the Cambridge University Press website,  and an extract is also available to read here.
