WELCOME TO BEERONOMICS!

 

The future of Beeronomics

 

Prof. Jo Swinnen

chairman of the Beeronomics scientific committee

 

The first Beeronomics conference in Leuven turned out to be a great success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all keynote speakers, participants, the scientific committee members and the local organizing team for their contribution. Klaus Salhofer, Adriano Profeta and their colleagues are organizing the second Beeronomics conference in Munich in October 2011, but nothing is currently planned for 2010.  I would like to draw your attention to an alternative opportunity for us to get together in 2010 – a de facto Beeronomics conference. 
 
Specifically, in June 2010, the American Association of Wine Economists will be meeting in Davis California.  You can find the call for contributed papers below. The AAWE conference program is relatively open, including papers related to food and other beverages, not just wine.  If enough papers related to beeronomics are submitted and accepted, we could anticipate having sessions within the AAWE conference dedicated to Beeronomics.  
 
Also, northern California has a number of interesting breweries and there is potential for beeronomics field work before or after the AAWE conference if enough interest is manifest – e.g.,  http://www.sierranevada.com/index2.html  and  http://www.sudwerk.com/

 

 

 

AAWE call for papers

 

The American Association of Wine Economists (AAWE) will hold its 4th Annual Conference
from June 25-28, 2010, at UC Davis in California.

The conference will be hosted by UC Davis and the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.
All economics and statistics papers related to wine and food are welcome.

Submit a 1000-word abstract by February 28, 2010 to
jwe@whitman.edu.

You can find the Call for Papers 
here. Details will be posted on the website www.wine-economics.org

 

 

The first Beeronomics conference in Leuven

 

LICOS Centre for Institutions and Economic Performance is organizing the first ever Beeronomics Conference from the 27th to 29th May 2009 in Leuven, Belgium. 

 

The first Beeronomics Conference is meant to provide a forum to exchange ideas and high-quality economic research related to the economics of beer, brewing and related activities. It covers a wide array of topics, including, but not limited to: production, trade, industrial organization, economic history, law and economics, marketing, consumption, policy and regulation, macroeconomics, etc.

 

As the country of beers, we thought that Belgium would be the appropriate place for this conference, and as the city hosting the famous “Old Market” (well known among beer lovers), the headquarters of InBev (the world’s largest brewing holding), and a prestigious university (the Catholic University of Leuven), Leuven would be the perfect town.
