We are also particularly glad to present two very distinguished key note speakers: Anna Alberini, Professor at the University of Maryland, Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics, and Simon Dietz, Co- Director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics. At the end of the first Conference day, the General Assembly of IAERE Members will take place. We warmly encourage you to participate and let your opinions and suggestions be heard. Furthermore, we invite you to join us at the conference dinner on Thursday evening and enjoy with us the sight of Milan s skyline by night.
