Call for papers - “Economics and Sustainability” Workshop

The Autorité de la concurrence is organising a workshop on “Economics and Sustainability” in Paris in late September 2026. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners specialising in environmental economics, industrial economics and competition law. Discussions will focus on methods for valuing environmental benefits and harms, and their practical application in competition analysis.

Ahead of the workshop, the Autorité is launching a call for papers.

• Submission types

The workshop welcomes academic papers (theoretical or empirical), ongoing research, methodological notes and applied case studies, including work arising from collaborations with public institutions.

The organisers are especially interested in submissions that analyse the extent to which the proposed methods meet the requirements of competition law enforcement, in particular with regard to: (i) operational applicability; (ii) integration into the methodological framework of competition analysis; and (iii) evidentiary robustness.

• Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an abstract (2-3 pages) or full paper clearly setting out the research question, methodology, main findings and implications for economic or competition analysis.

Submissions may be written in French or English.

Presentations will be delivered in French or English.

Submission deadline: 5 June 2026
