The annual Economic Forum of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) took place this year from January 17-19 in Manila, Philippines. The event, which brought together Bank staff and economists from around the world for the sixth time, promotes the exchange of knowledge and thus fosters and enhances the quality of research and academic work within the Bank. It also offers the opportunity to actively shape the ADB's research agenda. Professor Sauer attended the meeting in person and presented current research entitled "Using Choice Experiments to inform on the price of non-market ecosystem services for natural capital accounting".
