SUMMARY:Wildfire\: Economics\, Law and Policy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:There is substantial need for scholarly attention to and analysis of wildfire law and policy. The issues are complex and rapidly emerging\; ranging from historic tort problems to far-reaching concerns about how wildfires are being used by terrorists and drug lords. This symposium will bring together law and economics scholars to discuss important public issues. How can public policy address the effects of climate change on wildfire\, and wildfire on climate change? Are the environmental and fiscal costs of ex ante prevention measures justified? What are the appropriate levels of prevention and suppression responsibility borne by private\, state and federal actors? Can tort liability provide a solution for realigning the grossly distorted incentives that currently exist for private landowners and government firefighters?  The larger question is\: Do the existing incentives in wildlife institutions provide incentives for efficient private and collective action and how might they be improved?The wildfire law symposia will provide a first-ever forum for influential law and economics scholars to apply the analysis and methodologies of their field to this important area of law in an unprecedented show of scholarly attention to an important public problem.  The goal of the symposium is not only to produce new research on this important topic but also stimulate research after the symposium. The interaction among scholars and literature produced will benefit other issues\, including climate change\, other natural disasters and the growing nexus of environmental law and law and economics.The symposium articles will be published in 2011 as an edited volume (Karen Bradshaw and Dean Lueck\, co-editors) \"Wildfire Policy\: Law and Economics Perspectives\" by Resources for the Future Press.This symposium is co-sponsored by the Program on Economics Law and the Environment.
