Mediterranean agriculture facing climate change: Challenges and policies
The 9th AIEAA Annual Conference aims to contribute to this debate, by addressing economic and policy analysis of impacts, mitigation and adaptation options for agricultural systems facing climate change.

Contributed papers
Participants intending to present a contributed paper are requested to submit an extended abstract (minimum 1,500 words; maximum 2,000 words) before February 9, 2020. Abstracts should include:

b. Description of data and research methodology
c. Discussion of the expected theoretical and/or empirical results
d. Main conclusions and emphasis on the paper’s potential for generating discussion during the conference
e. A list of few essential references.
All submitted abstracts will be subject to a blind peer review process. Authors will be notified of paper acceptance by March 20, 2020.
The final version of accepted contributions (either in the form of full paper or revised long abstract) should be submitted by May 15, 2020.
Upon Authors’ authorization, the final version of the abstract/paper will be made available on the conference website and on AgEcon Search.
A selection of accepted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of Bio-based and Applied Economics and in a regular issue of New Medit after going through the journals’ standard review process.
