Spring 2008 Seminar Series


The Institute's Center for the Study of Energy Markets (CSEM) offers an informal bi-weekly seminar series where energy researchers present their work in progress. The seminar meets on Fridays from 3:40 - 5:00 PM, unless otherwise noted. UCEI seminars are held in Berkeley at UCEI's location, unless otherwise noted below.  

UCEI is located at 2547 Channing Way; entrance faces Bowditch.

We do not distribute papers from the seminars.  If you wish to request a paper, please contact the speaker directly. Some authors have made their papers publicly available and those papers are available through the link to the title of the seminar. Please contact Meghan Busse for further information.
