Social Psychology and Economics in Environmental Research (SPEER)

January 1999 - April 2000 Funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF) with support from the UK Environment Agency and English Nature SPEER Project Co-ordinator: Dr Clive L. Spash

About the SPEER Project The central objective of the SPEER Project was to create a European network of active researchers interested in combining economics and social psychology to improve understanding of environmental problems and policy responses. Environmental research in Europe has been developing somewhat separately in economics and psychology while addressing common themes. SPEER aimed to increase communication between these disciplines in order to advance the interpretation of existing work on environmental problems and methods for mitigation, and to identify new areas for cooperation. A philosophical perspective on methodology and the meaning of concepts in environmental research (e.g. valuation) was seen as a key component of this process.
