Climate Change…Economics and Policy
10 a.m.-11 a.m. , Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009
Tobin Building, Molly Caren Center
Hosted by OSU Agricultural, Environmental & Development Economics
Our annual Farm Science Review discussion of policy and economics takes a look at climate change. We bring leading economists from Ohio State University and Purdue University to debate the impacts of climate change and the conflicts found in policy discussions. Ian Sheldon moderates a panel consisting of Brent Sohngen and Tim Haab from Ohio State and economist Ben Gramig from Purdue. Expect some analysis, some predictions, and probably an argument or two, and take an opportunity to stump the panel with your perspective.
Energy Education Tent
The Energy Education display returns to Alumni Park this year as part of the education tent. It features informational displays and demonstrations from Ohio State, Purdue, and organizations/agencies with similar educational missions. A number of sessions at the nearby Question the Authorities program will be addressing the economics of energy markets, conservation, and new technologies. Some very visible energy-related technology should make this tent impossible to miss.
“Question the Authorities”
Live interviews of authorities from Ohio State and elsewhere on current economic, business and policy issues. OSU’s Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics sponsors this series of short interviews on the stage beside the Leaper Antique Building in Alumni Park on Friday Avenue. Stan Ernst leads the discussion, then opens things up for audience questions – your chance to question our authorities.
Each day of the Review, you’ll hear about timely topics – everything from current market behavior, marketing and economic performance, to energy economics, trade policy and new legal questions for rural America. Join the host in trying to stump the authorities with your toughest questions.
Topics and times are subject to change.
Check the signboard along Friday Avenue for daily lineups.
