Changes brought on by global warming affect not only the weather, but also world economies. A conference sponsored by Purdue University will examine, among other topics, the economic impact of a rise in the Earth's temperature, reports the Purdue News Bureau.
The Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) Conference takes place 7-9 June in Purdue's Stewart Center, West Lafayette.
GTAP is an international network of researchers and policy-makers who analyze global environmental and trade issues. The network is centered at Purdue.
Another conference topic is the economic impact of international trade agreements.
The goal of the conference is to promote the exchange of ideas among economists conducting quantitative analysis of global economic issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on applied general equilibrium methods, data, and application.
Preregistration is required to attend the conference. More conference information is available at the GTAP Web site.
