ZEW Economists Organise BHF Session on Mobility Issues in Beijing

Which policy measures have proven effective in the fight against inner-city pollution? How should supply-side developments in electromobility be assessed, and how are consumers reacting to the various incentives to reduce emissions? These and other economic questions related to the emissions caused by the mobility sector will be addressed during the ZEW Session at this year’s Beijing Humboldt Forum (BHF), which will take place in the Chinese capital on 21–23 September 2019. Within the framework of the event, researchers from China, Germany and the US will present their research on this topic.

The BHF, a conference that deals with the Green Economy and its interaction with cultural heritage, takes place every year at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Peking. ZEW is a founding member and co-organizer of the Forum. The conference offers a unique platform for interdisciplinary exchange between Germany and China. At the two-day event, around 400 guests will discuss solutions to global challenges and establish sustainable cooperation structures. The sessions will focus on social science research inquiries, taking into account economic, technological, and social contexts. Discussing political implications will also be welcome. It is precisely the combination of different perspectives and disciplines that makes the conference unique. With its design, the BHF creates both a forum for scientific exchange and a platform for networking for German and Chinese executives from research, industry, politics, and administration.
