AEC 534 – Environmental and Resource Economics (3)

Environmental problems and misuse of natural resources are caused by humans’ behavior, and thus must be solved by changing behavior. Explores the ways economics is central to understanding the incentive behind the causes, consequences, and potential for effective solutions to environmental and resource problems involving air, water, fish, forests, climate change, and biodiversity. Builds on microeconomics principles to include theories of market failures, externalities, common-pool resources, and institutions, as well as growth and sustainability. Equips students with tools for non-market valuation and for critical evaluation of environmental policies’ benefits and costs. This course may be subject to Enforced Prerequisites that restrict registration into the course. Check the offerings below for more information.
