Kip Werren
I lecture at the University of New England in the areas of Corporations Law, Taxation Law and Administrative Law. I am a practising Legal Practitioner and a Certified Practising Accountant of CPA Australia. I have broad experience in setting up business structures, succession planning and asset protection.
My research is titled 'Utilising the Institutional Arrangements in Financial Markets as a Model for Environmental Resource Markets'. The thesis will show that the institutional arrangements in natural resources markets might be modeled on financial markets for efficient and effective outcomes. The paper will attempt to explain how the institutional framework affects the structure of economic organisations and contractual arrangements in natural resources and moreover, the paper will outline how the institutional framework limits the set of practicable forms of natural resource management. The paper will focus on transaction costs and primarily on measurement and enforcement costs implied by the types of natural resource commodities exchanged and by the nature of the exchange.'
