Course Goal / Objective
The objectives of the course are (1) to give you a broad understanding of the causes and alternative solutions to modern environmental problems from an economic perspective, and (2) to apply insights derived from economic theory in designing and evaluating policy solutions to a variety of environmental issues.
Course Content
The class is designed as a broad survey course covering the most critical topics in environmental economics today. Economics, the science of how scarce resources are allocated, is at the core of many of our most challenging environmental issues, and therefore vitally important. In a world of increasing scarcity and competing demands, economic analysis can guide public policy to efficient utilization of resources.
