The
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) is a privately owned research institution
with an excellent international reputation in the field of economics. The
Venice office of the Fondazione was opened in 1996 in the Palazzo Querini
Stampalia. There are currently around twenty researchers studying sustainable
development of Venice and its lagoon, climate change and wetlands management.
Research on coalition formation, with specific applications to the analysis
of international environmental agreements, is one of the main and oldest
activities of Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei. In recent years, researchers
and fellows of FEEM have published several articles and books on the existence
of strategic incentives to sign an international environmental agreement
even in the case in which the environmental good is public and emission
abatement benefits all countries. The main reason for investing in this
research direction is the increasing importance of international and global
environmental problems, such as the greenhouse effect, the ozone layer,
acid rain, the over-exploitation of marine resources, etc.. More recently,
FEEM has started two new research projects: the elaboration of an applied
model of economic growth embodying environmental constraints; the investigation
of the role of network structures with respect to the efficiency and distributive
features of international negotiations.
