How and why should scientists and economists collaborate in research on the issues of the day? Some preliminary and half-formed thoughts on the matter follow. These come partly in the context of me being asked to organise and host a session at the Ecological Society of Australia Conference, held at the University of Sydney, on how economists may productively collaborate with ecologists and other natural scientists on some of the major issues of the day (be they water, climate, biodiversity, etc.). More detail on what was presented in that session to be posted in another separate entry or two.
