SPEER WORKSHOPSThe SPEER group organised two workshops. The focus was on discussing links in the subject areas of social dilemmas / public goods provision by looking at behavioural research and environmental valuation. Also, issues such as the dynamic process of behaviour formation and the role of environmental attitudes and ethics in predicting behaviour were one focus of interest. Workshop I 26-28 August 1999 (22 participants) brought together researchers within the SPEER group and other senior researchers in the field to present their ideas to one another and gain some insight into areas of potential cooperation. The meeting was also used for debating the goals of SPEER and planning the second workshop. This workshop was organised by Dr Anders Biel at the University of Göteborg.
Workshop participants were:
Anders Biel (Department of
Psychology, Göteborg University, Sweden), Nicola Bonini (Istituto
di Psicologia, University of Cagliari, Italy), Mirilia Bonnes
(Faculty of Psychology, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy),

Correljé (European Science Foundation & Erasmus University, The
Netherlands), Bruno Frey (Institut für Empirische
Wirtschaftsforschung, Universität Zürich, Switzerland), Satoshi Fujii

participants) took an in-depth look into the research themes identified in
Workshop I. The aims were to focus on case studies and methodological
issues in terms of the applicability of social psychology and economics to
environmental problems and to define future research agendas in the area.
Within this broader framework several topics were discussed: for example,
changing transportation behaviour, responses to environmental regulation,
and the role of individual preferences in environmental policy. This
workshop was attended by senior researchers as well as young scientists
(post-graduates and recent doctoral graduates). The organisers for this
workshop were Dr Clive L. Spash and Claudia Carter, University of Cambridge.
