The workshop on Growth, Trade and Environment: State of Art and Future Research Perspectives was held on June 9-10, 2008 at VIU premises.

 

The event was organized by the TEN Center of VIU in cooperation with the Advanced Schools of Economics and the Department of Economics of Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

 

The overall aim of the workshop was to address key issues in the analysis of trade, growth and environment, trying to establish a link between research areas that have been proceeding along partial linkages (trade and environment, growth and environment, growth and trade). Examples of the state of the art and of ongoing lines of research were provided along with the opportunity for an exchange of views on future perspectives of research.
