Warming To Cause Harsher Weather, Study Says
    from the Washington Post (Registration Required)
    Extreme weather events -- including heat waves, floods and  
drought -- are likely to become more common over the next century in  
the United States because of human-generated greenhouse gas  
emissions, according to a new study by Purdue University researchers.
    The analysis, which is being published online this week in the  
Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, examines how heat- 
trapping gases linked to climate change may intensify precipitation,  
drought and other weather conditions. Instances of extreme heat will  
probably increase throughout the country, the scientists concluded,  
and many areas will experience heavier downpours even if rain becomes  
less frequent.
    "I would be thrilled to be wrong," said Noah S. Diffenbaugh, a  
climate scientist at the Purdue Climate Change Research Center and  
the university's department of earth and atmospheric sciences. "It's  
definitely going to be more extreme hot temperatures." http://

EAERE-FEEM-VIU European Summer School in Resource and Environmental  
Economics-CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
    Computable General Equilibrium Modeling in Environmental and  
Resource Economics Venice, June 25th - July 1st, 2006
    http://www.feem.it/ess06
    Deadline for application: February 1st, 2006
    The European Association of Environmental and Resources  
Economists (EAERE), the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and the  
Venice International University (VIU) are pleased to announce their  
annual European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics  
for postgraduate students.
    The 2006 Summer School will take place from the 25th of June to  
the 1st of July, at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in  
Venice, located just in front of St. Mark’s Square. The theme of  
this Summer School is Computable General Equilibrium Modeling in  
Environmental and Resource Economics.
    Environmental policies are increasingly assessed not only on the  
basis of their environmental effectiveness but also depending on the  
associated economic impacts with respect to efficiency and incidence.  
These three dimensions of Sustainable Development, i.e. environmental  
quality, economic performance and equity concerns are intertwined and  
subject to tradeoffs. The quantification of tradeoffs requires the  
use of numerical model techniques. Computable general equilibrium  
models have meanwhile become an established analytical framework for  
evaluating the economy-wide and environmental implications of policy  
intervention on resource allocation and income of agents. In this  
context, the Summer School provides a comprehensive introduction to  
applied general equilibrium analysis of environmental policies by  
internationally renowned experts. After presenting the basic  
technique, the lecturers will discuss the theoretical background and  
illustrative applications to four key areas of environmental  
economics: (i) trade and environment, (ii) environmental regulation  
and technological change, (iii) double (triple) dividend hypothesis  
of green taxation, and (iv) international environmental agreements.  
Practical instruction and hands-on training on how to develop and use  
CGE models on GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) will be provided.

    ADMISSION AND APPLICATION
    The Summer School is targeted to PhD students. Admission is  
conditional on the presentation by each student of his/her doctoral  
work; therefore applicants normally need to be advanced in their PhD  
to have produced at least one substantive chapter, but not to have  
completely finished their thesis. Admission to the School is open to  
both European and non European citizens. Application is restricted to  
current EAERE members. Women are encouraged to apply. Given the  
highly interactive activities planned at the Summer School, the  
number of participants is limited to 20. There is no participation  
fee. Further information is available at the Summer School Website.
    SCHOLARSHIPS
    Scholarships covering living and travel expenses are available  
and will be awarded to successful applicants conforming to the  
combined criteria of merit and financial need.
    For further information on application and funding please access
