I recently attended the Association of the French Economic Association Congress, which was held in Bordeaux from June 17-19. The three-day event provided an excellent platform to present my research on Environmental Regulation and Foreign Direct Investments: Evidence from a New Measure of Environmental Stringency, a paper co-authored with Raphaël Chiappini. The congress was a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow economists, exchange ideas, and gain new perspectives on pressing global economic issues. Additionally, the presence of a dedicated reviewer was incredibly helpful and fruitful, offering valuable feedback that will greatly improve my work. I received numerous constructive comments, which I plan to incorporate into the next stages of my research.
