This 2.5 day conference will take place at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute next week (Mon, Tues and Wed am). MSRI is on the UC Berkeley campus, at the TIP TOP of the hill.
As usual, there is NO FEE to attend.
I am one of the organizers, and I am happy to say that this conference will be VERY hands on. There will be tutorials and talks by some of the top economists and mathematicians in the world. The best part -- IMO -- will be the panel discussions, where presenters and participants will do their best to destroy and rebuild the models, simulations and experiments that have come before, to create better versions for consideration and implementation.
This conference is very timely, and I am glad to be participating.
Bottom Line: Academics can do no better than contribute to the benefit of society.
Speaking of that, Ariel Dinar is editing a new journal called Strategic Behavior and the Environment. He is looking for papers that "contribute to our understanding of strategic behavior in design and implementation of environmental policy. Scholars in economics (including experimental economics, political economy, and game theory), political science, international relations, negotiation, and other relevant disciplines, are invited to submit manuscripts for publication consideration, following a peer-review process."
