Energy Economics and Finance Seminar
Event Summary
The seminar series in Energy Economics & Finance (EEF) is jointly organized by Wharton’s Business Economics and Public Policy Department, the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, and Wharton’s Business, Climate and Environment Lab. The scope of the seminar includes regulation and policy papers. The scope of the seminar also includes environmental and transportation issues, as long as there is a connection with energy. Sessions are biweekly on Mondays from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Snacks, beer, and wine will be served after the seminar, should University COVID guidance allow for it.
For Spring 2022, the seminar will be held in-person in the Kleinman Center Classroom (Fisher Fine Arts Building Room 306).
