Environment, Resources, and Conflict Research Group

Description

The Environment, Resources, and Conflict research group unites researchers from different fields of economics who study important issues in environmental and resource economics, conflict studies, and the nexus between the three.

Many of the group's members run experiments in the lab or in the field, but they also use micro- and macroeconometric data, data from historical documents, and formal theoretical models in their research. Current research projects in the group include investigating the interaction between environmental policy, energy and natural resource use; the role of natural resources in economic growth and development; how the environment and natural resources contribute to conflict; the economics of migration; group identity and within- and between-group dynamics; group and individual behaviour in costly contests; and group bargaining and coordination.
