One-day Symposiums
11 November, Canberra: New Horizons in Market-based Instruments
Market Based Instruments (MBIs) are no longer novel tools in
natural resource management. The outcomes focus of MBI instruments
emphasises the complex nature of many Australian natural resource
management issues. The emphasis on design and renewed focus on
complex issues suggest a number of 'new horizons' for MBI development
including combinatorial auctions, linked markets, crowding out
and integration with other policy options. The goal in this symposium
is to demonstrate a selection of these recent advances in MBI
design and application
It will be hosted by AARES ACT in collaboration with CSIRO,
Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets at UNSW, ARC Economic
Design Network at the CSIRO Discovery Centre, Black Mountain,
Canberra.
Policy makers, interested researches, think tanks, NRM advisors
and consultants should attend. Speakers include: John Kerin (AARES
ACT President); Stuart Whitten (CSIRO); Dave Porter; Karel Nolles
(UNSW); Drew Collins (BDA Group); Andrew Reeson (CSIRO); Bernie
Dunn
