Young Scholars Symposium on Natural Resource Governance

Some of the most vexing and controversial problems facing society concern natural and environmental resource use and management. This 2-day symposium brings together 10 young scholars and 3 senior mentors to consider the fundamental role that economic, political, and legal institutions have in shaping incentives and determining the outcomes. The symposium aims to encourage and develop emerging scholars and their research programs that focus on the institutional underpinnings of these problems and their solutions. The intensive program includes research presentations by young scholars and lectures by senior mentors.
