The 16th International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Energy Economics (EMEE) will be held at World Bank Headquarters in Washington DC on January 16-17, 2025. Building on the tradition of previous iterations of the workshop dating back to 2008, this event provides a forum for the development and application of empirical methods in energy economics.
The EMEE was founded in 2008 as an international scientific network of energy economists that aims to contribute to the development and applications of econometrics and other quantitative approaches in energy economics and to encourage and improve communication between researchers and students in energy economics.
The EMEE workshop is intended as a forum for the development and application of empirical methods in energy economics. It follows the tradition of successful predecessors held in Zurich, Switzerland (2008), Jasper, Canada (2009), Guilford, England (2010), Dallas, Texas (2011), Berlin, Germany (2012), Ottawa, Canada (2013), Aachen, Germany (2014), College Park, Maryland (2015), Oviedo, Spain (2016), Los Angeles, USA (2017), Milano, Italy (2018) and Quebec City, Canada (2019), Zurich (2020), Yale (2023), Zürich (2024). Details on previous workshops and information about joining the EMEE Network can be found on the EMEE network webpage at http://www.emee.ethz.ch.
The conference will take place at the World Bank in Washington, DC and will be streamed online. For accepted participants, further details will follow.
