The 39th IAEE International Conference takes place in Bergen, Norway,
at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), 19 - 22 June 2016, with the
main theme Energy: Expectations and uncertainty - Challenges for analysis,
decisions and policy. Energy systems are becoming increasingly interdependent and integrated, raising the importance of changes in resources,
markets, technology, policy, environment and climate. Methods, analyses
and results that take explicit account of uncertainty and expectations from

The objectives of the Conference are to contribute to a better understanding of the role of expectations and uncertainty in energy, economic and
environmental systems along these dimensions, and to place these topics
within the broader themes of energy economics generally addressed by the
Association.
