Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Italy
http://www.feem.it/

FEEMThe 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.
