Join the Georgia Tech School of Economics for the Southeastern Workshop on Energy & Environmental Economics & Policy (SWEEEP)
October 16-17, 2025
Sponsored by the School of Economics and the Energy, Policy, and Innovation Center at Georgia Tech
About the Conference
The Georgia Tech School of Economics, in conjunction with the Strategic Energy Institute and Energy Policy & Innovation Center, will host the Southeastern Workshop on Energy & Environmental Economics & Policy (SWEEEP) from Oct. 16-17, 2025.
The goal of SWEEEP is to bring together energy and environmental economists and policy researchers from all over the Southeast to present their research, exchange ideas, and build community. The workshop focuses on economics and policy issues lying at the intersection of energy and the environment, and includes topics as varied as the clean energy transition, housing and the built environment, transportation (air and auto), carbon markets, health impacts of energy systems, measuring consumer and firm behavioral responses to energy policy, and more.
2025 will mark the fourth SWEEEP workshop hosted by the School of Economics. The workshop was first held in 2019 (then titled the Southeastern Energy & Environmental Economics Workshop or SEEEW). The workshop was suspended in subsequent years due to the pandemic.
The workshop will include a keynote, egg-timers by Ph.D. students, postdocs, and faculty, as well as 20-minute research presentations (by faculty and postdocs) with a focus on works-in-progress and a preference for researchers in the Southeast. Ample time for questions, feedback, and networking will be built into the schedule. We may have limited funding available to help defray costs for graduate students.
We are excited to have Catie Hausman from the University of Michigan join us for this year's keynote talk.
