Introduction
In 2012 PERC continues its workshop series on “Property Rights, Markets and the Environment.” One of these workshops will focus on Financial Contracting, Transaction Costs, and Environmental Amenities to be held July 30–August 2, 2012, at the PERC office in Bozeman, Montana. During this workshop we intend to host seven presentations. Our objective is to propose and vet implementable market mechanisms that could reduce the cost of transacting over environmental goods and services. The potential for financial contracting strategies to serve in this role will receive particular attention.

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
