Green Economics Conference Report

Dr Tony Vickers attended the Green Economics Institute's annual conference at Mansfiled College Oxford on 30th July, to present a paper jointly written by his two PhD supervisors and himself which drew heavily on his dissertation. This was an opportunity to publicise the PLRG among people who were thought likely to be sympathetic to the hypothesis that Land Value can be mapped and that Land Value Taxation is Green.

Although only able to attend one of three days of the Conference, Tony gained a good impression of the atmosphere. Great enthusiasm, many young interns from all over the world with determination to study, refreshingly different perspective on the world that challenged many assumptions.

The Proceedings of this Conference should soon be published on the GEI website. Tony has been invited to submit an extended version of the conference paper for the International Journal of Green Economics, which is in preparation and will be subject to peer review.
