Analysis of Environmental Economics

ECON 6010

Nov 16, 2020 - Dec 8, 2020

Do you have an environmental or natural resources challenge you would like to tackle from an economics perspective? In this course, student-consultants working in small groups will examine your environmental, ecological or resource problem and then identify, analyze and critique economic solutions. They will tackle the challenge by addressing economic efficiency; externalities, common resources and public good provision issues; the theory of nonrenewable natural resources; cost-benefit analysis; ecological economics and green accounting; and the economics of climate change. The students will develop a report and presentation for your organization upon completion of the project.
