The theme of EEPSEA‘s research program is the internalization of external costs. There is widespread interest in minimizing pollution and resource degradation by insuring that economic agents face the full costs of their activities. Research topics that apply the tools of economics in the analysis of policy-relevant environmental challenges are invited from EEPSEA member countries.

EEPSEA accepts research proposals on priority national environmental problems. In addition, it encourages research proposals dealing with climate-risks management, engendering environmental economics research, application of behavioural economics tool in analysis of environmental problems, environmental health valuations, and those dealing with regional environmental issues.
