Unprecedented ice melt in the Arctic Ocean is opening a "new ocean," creating the potential for new and expanded economic opportunities. To date, there has been little research on developing Arctic economies and the potential effects on the social, cultural, and ecological system of the Arctic. This award would support a workshop of environmental, natural resource, international, finance, and subsistence economists to discuss changing Arctic economies and how economic research can contribute to our understanding of these changes. The research agenda shaped during this workshop has relevance in other regions; while there are many unique issues in the Arctic, the challenges of balancing economic uses and environmental health are similar to those being addressed in coastal regions around the world. This award will support a small exploratory workshop to define an agenda for economic research related to the Arctic. The project will a) define key research issues and appropriate methodologies, b) identify gaps in existing data systems that need to be filled for research and policy purposes, and c) form the nucleus of a network of experts that will improve the opportunities for scholars to collaborate and encourage more professional journal articles and conference presentations. Over two days of discussions, 10-12 experts will address a set of questions that will be sent to attendees in advance of the workshop, and respond to a commissioned paper intended to stimulate the discussions from different fields of economic research. These fields include regional, environmental, natural resource, international, finance, and subsistence economics. The workshop will also include representatives from the practitioner community with knowledge of the important policy-relevant questions that would benefit from economic research; potential funders of economic research; and an Arctic ecologist to assist with making the linkages between the environment and economics. The event will be held in Monterey, California, and hosted by the Center for the Blue Economy.

北冰洋前所未有的冰融化正在开辟一个“新海洋”，创造了新的和扩大的经济机会的潜力。迄今为止，关于发展北极经济及其对北极社会、文化和生态系统的潜在影响的研究还很少。 该奖项将支持一个由环境、自然资源、国际、金融和自给经济学家组成的研讨会，讨论不断变化的北极经济以及经济研究如何有助于我们理解这些变化。本次研讨会期间制定的研究议程与其他地区具有相关性；虽然北极存在许多独特的问题，但平衡经济利用和环境健康的挑战与世界各地沿海地区面临的挑战相似。该奖项将支持一个小型探索性研讨会，以确定与北极相关的经济研究议程。该项目将a）定义关键研究问题和适当的方法，b）确定现有数据系统中需要填补的研究和政策目的空白，以及c）形成专家网络的核心，这将增加学者合作的机会并鼓励更多专业的期刊文章和会议演示。在为期两天的讨论中，10-12 名专家将解决研讨会之前向与会者发送的一系列问题，并对旨在激发不同经济研究领域讨论的委托论文做出回应。这些领域包括区域、环境、自然资源、国际、金融和自给经济。研讨会还将包括来自从业界的代表，他们了解将从经济研究中受益的重要政策相关问题；经济研究的潜在资助者；一位北极生态学家协助建立环境与经济之间的联系。该活动将在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷举行，由蓝色经济中心主办。
