EMCC Legacy
The Conference on Econometric Models of Climate Change, established in 2016, continues its annual tradition of promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of climate change. This year, we seek paper submissions that employ new econometric and statistical methods within climate change models, analysing climate data, climate impacts, biodiversity loss, climate migration, and related subjects.
